SPOILERS: About the AQ ending, Dottore and... Undertale?
After the "fake" ending to the archon quest I at first thought it has to do with the Heavenly Principles waking up after Dottore's ascension and opening of the false sky. But looking closer at the glitch effect, it looks a lot like his own technology so it HAS to be related to him somehow.
Many people are speculating he either made at least one segment as a failsafe (Supported by the body swap experiments and him seeing Hat Guy would probably remind him of how his segments are made) or that the whole ending is an illusion and we are still inside his experiment. Either way, it's clear we haven't seen the last of him.
For some reason, I thought back on the "Saving..." messages. Quests always have had checkpoints to save our progress, but this is the first time we got them explicitly stated to us. I appreciate that (Even though there is around an hour of cutscenes between each...), but with Dottore's possible failsafe plan I got reminded of someone.
SPOILERS FOR UNDERTALE:
Brief context in case you haven't played Undertale. The antagonist, Flowey, turns into a god-like being by borrowing power from 6 human souls. >!In an alternate ending, he does become a god by... Creating a 7th artificial human soul out of monster souls.!< Anyways, with his god-like power, Flowey takes over the game itself, renaming it to Floweytale. He overwrites your savefile with his own, and during the fight he constantly saves and reloads the file to mess with your movement. When you're apparently about to defeat him, he simply reloads to a previous savefile to go back to full health. Then proceeds to kill you, reload, kill you, reload, and do it over and over.
What if the "Saving..." was not simply a new game mechanic... What if Dottore made his own "Savefile" with the trilune authority each time that message was displayed. I know I sound crazy, but I'll be the one laughing when the game suddenly turns into Dottore Impact.

From what I remember, the deal he had with Nahida was that he would destroy all his segments, but that doesn't necessarily mean he can't create new ones, probably ones even more powerful consider the power he got from the three moons.
