*\\\'\\\'TheMetamorphosisOfPrimeIntellect\\\'\\\' - Caroline and Lawrence \\\'\\\'\\\'kill god\\\'\\\'\\\' ([[DeusEstMachina essentially]]), which collapses cyberspace and wipes out countless simulated worlds, (possibly) the \\\"static copies\\\" of 429 \\\'\\\'real\\\'\\\' worlds harboring sentient alien life (depending on the method of storage), and \\\'\\\'every other human\\\'\\\' besides them. The story ends with an AdamAndEvePlot well under way, but real-world genetics would condemn humanity to extinction.
I have no fucking clue. Too much hard sci-fi and \\\"what is a soul/makes us human\\\" for me to gather.

* \\\'\\\'KamenRiderDecade\\\'\\\' is clearly heading in this direction at the series\\\' start, with its status being uncertain at the moment. Multiple worlds smashing into each other and breaking the dimensional boundaries is \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' going to end well.
NotSelfExplanatory. Too vague.

* Not in any specific game, but a \\\'\\\'{{GURPS}}\\\'\\\' Space discussion in the USENET group rec.arts.frp.gurps back in the early 1990s posited that a 10-mile wide asteroid, accellerated to 0.9999c and targeted at a star would create a gamma ray burst that would annihilate all life in a 50-light-year radius.
WHAT? If...WHAT?!!!

*In the play \\\"Marisol\\\" by Jose Rivera, this is in the process of happening as God goes senile. The moon has not been seen in months, apples are pure salt, locations no longer remain permanent, and men get pregnant. Meanwhile, angels prepare to battle against the apparently Alzheimer\\\'s-afflicted deity to keep the universe from being destroyed.
Look, I know it\\\'s 3am, but come on. Throw me a bone.

* Sephiroth\\\'s OneWingedAngel form in \\\'\\\'FinalFantasyVII\\\'\\\' has a move that seems to be one of these -- a comet destroys Pluto, Saturn\\\'s rings, and Jupiter, then hits the sun, causing it to explode, engulfing Mercury, Venus, and Earth in the process. Subverted in that this has \\\'\\\'no\\\'\\\' long-term repercussions -- your party can\\\'t die from it (the damage is always a percentage of your current HP), and the whole process can repeat itself several times over the course of the final battle. In other words, used [[RuleOfCool entirely for coolness]]. That, and [[OverlyLongFightingAnimation getting a sandwich.]]
It\\\'s a visual aid, and GameplayAndStorySegregation. I haven\\\'t played FFVII, but isn\\\'t the final battle supposed to be inside the planet?
* In [[spoiler:a NewGamePlus]] of \\\'\\\'SoulNomadAndTheWorldEaters\\\'\\\', [[spoiler:the hero can choose to become an OmnicidalManiac instead of [[CallToAdventure accepting the responsibility that comes with his new power]]. If the protagonist survives the final battle, he/she uses his power to destroy both Drazil \\\'\\\'and\\\'\\\' Haephnes, killing him/herself in the process.]]
No idea where this fits. It doesn\\\'t even mention the devastation, just that they \\\"are\\\" an OmnicidalManiac.
* [The Space Quest series\\\' Star Crusher, moved the first half to Class X-2] [...] ...Interestingly, the Star Crusher design itself then underwent a sort of Heel Face Turn, repurposed as the Star Generator, capable of \\\'\\\'creating\\\'\\\' stars by igniting dead planetoids. (This, of course, sets it up to become the MacGuffin of the first game in the series.)
Is this really necessary?
* This troper remembers doing this by \\\'\\\'accident\\\'\\\' in a very old game called \\\'\\\'Captain Blood.\\\'\\\' Apparently, your ship comes with a weapon that allows you to do this any time you want.
* LiveALive [[spoiler: Fight, Item, Pass, Armageddon]]
Neither are self-explanatory. Again, ThisTroper.
* Raiden takes extra precautions to prevent anyone from threatening earthrealm in MortalKombat: Armageddon
Sorry, no idea what \\\"Earthrealm\\\" is.
