Line 160:
* In ''[[Wild Arms 2]]'', {{spoiler|the Encroaching Parallel Universe, Kuiper Belt, is gradually eating the entire universe, and strikes Filgaia with a phenomenon called the Stain Paradigm, which rots away the sky, the land, the water, the forces of nature, everything, as Kuiper Belt grows more powerful. Named after but very different from the real Kuiper Belt, a ring of countless Plutoid planetoids surrounding the main Solar System, some of which occasionally stray into the main Solar System like Pluto does every few centuries.}}
* In ''[[Fate/stay night|Fate Stay Night]]'', a [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique]] known as a "Reality Marble" shows the inner workings of a Mage's soul by making a world that represents that Mage overlap the real world. These worlds, being shaped by the Magi's inner nature, are of the Fisher King nature. One inner world shown during the course of the game and the anime is [[Field of Blades|Unlimited Blade Works]], which belongs to Archer ( {{spoiler|and by extension, Emiya Shirou}}).
:Other Reality Marbles mentioned include that of ''[[Tsukihime]]'''s Nrvnqsr Chaos (pronounced Nero Chaos), which is always active and allows him to join his being to other creatures, giving him a body that is incapable of dying so long as at least one part of it remains alive and he can maintain magic energy to feed it. Unless you're [[One-Hit Kill|Shiki.]] Satsuki's Reality Marble represents her loss without gain (Isn't it sad? No, really, not just a meme in this case) and passively destroys any mana in a radius around her that is not contained in a living being. Reality Marbles are bizarrely specific and produce equally strange results.

** In its sister series ''[[Tsukihime]]'' there is introduced in its back story a group of beings called the Ultimate Ones, the final singular lifeform that embody the hereditary of the now-dead planet of which it originates. Their very presence is enough to cast a permanent denial of reality sphere called Alien Order, overwriting Earth's laws of physics with those of their original planet as it was when it still bore life. In the main series, this is the effect Type-Mercury is having on a region in South America. In the far-flung future of ''Notes'', the body of Ultimate One Type-Venus is blown out of the sky and, crashing onto the dead Earth of the future, its "corpse" is the only place that can still sustain life, albeit Venusian life.
** The prequel of ''[[Fate/stay night|Fate Stay Night]]'', ''[[Fate/Zero]]'', also has Servant Rider's shared Reality Marble, "Ionioi Hetaroi", which summons the [[Badass Army]] which conquered half of the world in his lifetime.

* In ''[[God of War (series)|God Of War III]]'', killing gods changes the world for the worse: Kill Poseidon, and the seas flood the coasts. Kill Hades, and the souls of the dead escape from Tartarus. Kill Helios, and the sun is shrouded by the clouds. Kill Hermes, and swarms of insects are released. Kill Hera, and all plantlife dies. Kill Zeus, and the constant lightning storms begin.
* In the second ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]'' set, the mental state of the god of time, Dialga, is reflected by the physical state of Temporal Tower, his hidden abode.
