Line 15:
* In ''[[Dragon Ball GT]]'' it's stated that Omega Shenron could have caused this.
** Back on [[Dragonball Z]] anime. Majin Buu flew into a rage and his power ''began to tear the fabric of reality''. Then, Vegeto stopped him by slugging him. Make that what you will.
* In ''[[Soul Eater (Manga)|Soul Eater]]'' {{spoiler|Death The Kid}} goes mad and decides at one point that the only way to {{spoiler|create ultimate symmetry}} is to destroy all of existence. Luckily for everyone, {{spoiler|Black Star manages to pretty much (literally) beat some sense into him.}} He's back to normal now.
* Near the end of ''[[Futari wa Pretty Cure]]'', the [[Big Bad|Dark King]] is purportedly destroying multiple planets in his spare time. His goal, as stated throughout the series, is the total destruction of all existence.
 
 
== Comicbooks ==
* In [[Grant Morrison (Creator)|Grant Morrison]]'s ''[[Doom Patrol (Comic Book)|Doom Patrol]]'', this is what will happen if the Anti-God, let free by the Cult of the Unwritten Book, is able to proceed with unmaking the universe. "Nothing. Forever and ever."
* In ''[[Lucifer (Comic Book)|Lucifer]]'', the spin-off from ''[[The Sandman (Comic Book)|The Sandman]]'', all of Creation was nearly unmade when {{spoiler|God left creation. Since His name is on everything in Heaven, Earth and everywhere else, and it holds it all together, everything started to slowly break down. It was averted when God left His job as supreme deity to his half-angel granddaughter. Chances are her universe -- the third at the time -- would have survived anyway, not being entangled with God's crappy handiwork.}}
 
Line 26:
== Films -- Live-Action ==
* In ''[[Dogma]]'', if the [[Word of God]] is to be proven wrong all of creation will cease to exist.
* This is the goal of the ''[[Warlock (Filmfilm)|Warlock]]'', and he comes [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Damned]] close.
 
 
Line 48:
 
== Music ==
* Actually happens in [[Food for Thethe Gods]]. [[Satan]] leads an army of the damned into Heaven, and starts utterly laying waste to everything in sight. God responds by going completely insane with rage and obliterating all of creation.
 
 
== Tabletop Games ==
* This is the fate of Creation if the ''[[Nobilis (Tabletop Game)|Nobilis]]'' lose their Valde Bellum. ''Retroactively'', no less.
* [[Exalted|The Abyssal Exalted]] were created by [[Eldritch Abomination|the Neverborn]] with the express intent of throwing Creation into Oblivion, freeing the Neverborn from their fetters to existence by ''getting rid of existence.''
* This is the presumed goal of the Wyrm in ''[[Werewolf: The Apocalypse (Tabletop Game)|Werewolf: The Apocalypse]]'', although some speculate that It's goal is actually to make things as horrible as possible and keep it that way forever.
 
 
Line 60:
* The fourth or fifth endings of ''[[Drakengard]]'' if not for the intervention of the heroes.
* The second [[Tasty Planet]] game has the Goo devour progressively bigger things, eventually getting to planets, stars, entire galaxies, and eventually the fabric of space-time itself.
* ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 (Videovideo Gamegame)|Sonic the Hedgehog 2006]]'' comes dangerously close to {{spoiler|Solaris (the joining of Mephiles and Iblis) devouring ''all of time, past, present, and future and all of existence'' if Sonic, Shadow and Silver hadn't stopped him.}}
** In ''[[Sonic Generations (Video Game)|Sonic Generations]]'', Time Eater wants to destroy time from at least 1991, resulting as if nothing ever existed, over what is certainly [[Disproportionate Retribution|a personal grudge against Sonic]]. The game is set during this process of complete time-erasure.
* [[Live a Live]]. {{spoiler|You are the one who can end everything by simply choosing the Armageddon option. It disintegrates everything, in every place, in every time period, all at once (even though just destroying the Prehisoric chapter should have been enough), so you ''know'' it's horrible.}}
* In ''[[Final Fantasy IX (Video Game)|Final Fantasy IX]]'', Kuja comes within a hairs breadth of pulling one of these off. {{spoiler|He almost manages to destroy the crystal that holds the fabric of reality together. Luckily after he manages to beat the party to death, forcing them to fight and defeat a big blue thing who [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can|got trapped in that crystal all along]] and decided that since Kuja wanted to destroy everything, it was time to end the universe, he has a last minute [[Heel Face Turn]], resurrects the party, and dies offscreen after Zidane has found him inside the now death-throeing Iifa Tree.}}
** In ''[[Final Fantasy VI (Video Game)|Final Fantasy VI]]'', Kefka manages to succeed in a severe Class 1 destruction of the world, and when he learns to his disgust about people's hopes, love, and dreams, he decides that he'll "Destroy everything and create a monument to Non-existence."
** In Dissidia [[Final Fantasy III (Video Game)|the Cloud of Darkness]] and [[Final Fantasy V (Video Game)|Exdeath]] had a talk about the differences in their plans to destroy existence. Exdeath himself may have rather ruled over everything but [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard|the Void has other plans.]]
* The bad ending of the Demon path in [[Soul Nomad and The World Eaters|Soul Nomad]] {{spoiler|has the protaganist do this after devouring [[Omnicidal Maniac|Gig]]. Why? [[For the Evulz|Cause it was fun]].}}
* In ''[[Super Paper Mario (Video Game)|Super Paper Mario]]'', {{spoiler|this is Count Bleck's true plan. He's later backstabbed and replaced by Dimentio, who settles for a class X-5 with the intent of reconstructing it in his own image. However, after Dimentio is defeated by the heroes, he resets it back to Class-Z, since if he can't remake the world with his death, he might as well destroy all of existence with him.}}
* In ''[[Ratchet and Clank]]: A Crack in Time'', this is implied to happen if someone tries to use The Great Clock for time travel. {{spoiler|Nearly happens, too, thanks to Azimuth.}}
* ''[[Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne]]''. True Demon Path. {{spoiler|All universes in the entire omniverse are obliterated with no chance of recreation by the death of [[God]]'s avatar at the hands of the demonically-powered Hito-Shura. Demons and fiends are all that's left. The [[Final Battle]] [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny|between Lucifer and God's now unavoidable]]...}}
* In ''[[Chrono Cross (Video Game)|Chrono Cross]]'', {{spoiler|the Time Devourer intends to consume every timeline, destroying everything in existence. It can only be stopped by the titular Chrono Cross, which temporarily merges the timelines and allows Serge to [[Ret-Gone]] Lavos}}.
 
 
== Webcomics ==
* In ''[[Homestuck (Webcomic)|Homestuck]]'', [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|messing around with the fourth wall]] is supposed to be ''even worse'' than class Z, according to Karkat:
{{quote| {{color|grey|CG: BUT SUFFICE TO SAY THERE ARE JUST SOME THINGS YOU DON'T WANT TO SCREW WITH.}}<br />
{{color|grey|CG: THERE ARE OUTCOMES THAT ARE EVEN WORSE THAN THE COMPLETE ANNIHILATION OF EXISTENCE ITSELF}}<br />
Line 81:
** [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005558 It's true] from [[Author Avatar|the author's end]] too.
** It's eventually revealed ''something'' is killing the [[Eldritch Abomination|Horrorterrors]]. According to Rose, this threatens the perpetuation of reality itself.
* The threat of such an event is a major plot point in ''[[The Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|The Order of the Stick]]'', in that {{spoiler|breaking all of the gates would presumably bring about the unraveling of the world, eventually}}.
 
 
== Web Originals ==
* In [[The Book of Stories OCT]], the worst outcome of the Book's Unwriting could be classified as Class X-5 or even Z, though it's not as much destroying as it is making everything nonexistent.
* In the game ''[[Ge Ne Sis (Video Game).ne.sis|Ge Ne Sis]]'', it's revealed that {{spoiler|after too many dimensions are born, they are all destroyed at once, melting together into one. Gelyan plans to delay this by destroying all other dimensions.}}
 
 
Line 92:
* In ''[[Transformers]]'', this is Unicron's ultimate goal. Given that his overall method is to [[Planet Eater|eat the entire multiverse one planet at a time]], its taking him quite a while, but, impressively, he's already devoured about 22.5% of known universes that way.
* This is the goal of {{spoiler|Owlman}} in ''[[Justice League Crisis On Two Earths]]'', once he learns of the existence of the multiverse. It is quite awesome, but ultimately foiled by [[Batman]].
* Attempted by [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|Spider-Carnage]] in ''[[Spider -Man: theThe Animated Series]]''. Driven mad by the deaths of everyone he cares about, and possessed by the [[Serial Killer|Carnage]] symbiote, an alternate universe Spider-Man attempts to, in his own words, "Destroy all reality." His plan is basic: utilise one of the Spot's vortexes to absorb the entirety of Earth, any Earth. The absorption of the planet will then trigger a bomb similar to the Davros example, destroying Earth, and amplified by the portal, the universe. It doesn't end there though. Oh no. With the portal still open, the blast will be replicated across the entirety of the multiverse, ensuring that [[Suicidal Cosmic Temper Tantrum|when Spider-Carnage dies]] [[Omnicidal Maniac|all of creation dies with him]].
* Done as a joke for an intro to ''[[The Simpsons (Animationanimation)|The Simpsons]]'', where aliens create a wormhole that's powerful enough to even suck [[God]] into it, leaving nothing but a blank slate.
