14	->''Battle bears the energy we need to sustain this world. And when I called upon [[BigBadEnsemble my champions]], I was not aware of Materia and [[EnsembleCast her champions]]. Who, then, would my champions battle, in order to bear that energy? [...] I called upon cruel hearts - but [[InvokedTrope cruel hearts of three distinct breeds]]. Those who relish in destruction, and want nothing more than to deliver it to all they witness. Those who wish to conquer, to stand above all others as superior. And those who have committed such terrible sins, and would do terrible things in order to repent. Conquerors must have something to conquer, and so they would oppose destroyers. Destroyers will deliver the same destruction to a king as to a pawn, and so they would oppose conquerors. And the repentant would see their past reflected in the others, and so they would oppose both.''

18	'''[[GalacticConqueror Varax]]:''' The same as you, I imagine; power and control over everything in existence. When I sensed your ki signature appear on the radar, I knew instantly that one of the greatest calamities the universe had ever faced had returned to the land of the living. Almost immediately after your revival, [[SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum you then attempted to destroy our reality]] by opening a rift in space to suck everything into the void. ''[narrows his eyes]'' That is something I'm afraid I cannot allow.

24
25	->'''Rocket Raccoon''': What has the galaxy ever done for you? Why would ''[[AntiHero you]]'' want to save it?\
26	'''Peter Quill''': Because I'm one of the idiots who ''lives in it''!

30	->'''Spike:''' I want to stop Angel. ''(chuckling)'' I want to save the world.\
31	'''Buffy:''' You do remember that you're a vampire, right?\
32	'''Spike:''' We like to talk big, vampires do. "I'm going to destroy the world." It's just tough guy talk. Strutting around with your friends over a pint of blood. The truth is, I ''like'' this world. You've got... dog racing, Manchester United. And you've got people, [[WarmBloodbagsAreEverywhere billions of people walking around like Happy Meals with legs]]. It's all right here. But then someone comes along with a vision. With a real... [[OmnicidalManiac passion for destruction]]. Angel could pull it off. Goodbye, Picadilly. Farewell, Leicester Bloody Square. You know what I'm saying?
33	-->-- ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''
34
35	[[AC:Tabletop Games]]
36	->''"I deal in ''purity'', Movran. [[DealWithTheDevil Demonic bargains]] are so... worldly. The Abyss doesn't care if you deal in handshakes or rape ... It's a means, not an end. Demons mire people in the here and now. They aren't my friends."''
37	-->-- '''[[OmnicidalManiac Angrboda]]''', ''TabletopGame/MageTheAwakening''
38
39	->"By contrast, the [[BigBadEnsemble Exarchs]] also direct [[LesCollaborateurs Seers]] to protect humanity from existential threats, and renew the vault-seals of [[SealedEvilInACan ancient horrors called the Bound]]. Not even the Tyrants wish to rule a kingdom of ashes."
40	-->-- ''TabletopGame/MageTheAwakening 2E''
41
42	->Unknown to all but a few, the heart of [[TheSyndicate the Zhentarim]] is [[NebulousEvilOrganisation a cabal of evil and sometimes monstrous leaders who seek to extend the Black Network’s blood-soaked reach into every assassination, black market, and illegal deal that happens in Faerûn]]. The order's criminal connections [[WeAreEverywhere burrow into every major city and thieves' guild in the Western Heartlands and along the Sword Coast]]. Wherever a city's coinage is disastrously undermined by counterfeiting, wherever an up-and-coming business runs roughshod over its established competitors, and wherever a political struggle turns to widespread intimidation, it's a safe bet that the Zhentarim are involved.\
43	However, engaging in mainstream corruption and wanting to see [[GodOfEvil Tiamat]] ascend are two different things. The Zhentarim have no illusions about what the Dragon Queen's return [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt would mean for their plans]]. Wanting to secretly [[TakeOverTheWorld rule the world from the shadows for themselves]], the leaders of the Black Network [[PragmaticVillainy have no desire to become agents and errand runners for some petty god and her dragon cohorts]].

46	[[AC:Video Games]]
47	->'''Player''': I don't believe a devil cares about the fate of the world.\
48	'''Korrilla''': I won't pretend he's an altruist. But he's looked at the balance sheet -- no world, no souls.
49	-->-- ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIII''
50
51	->'''Ralsei:''' When the LIGHT is subsumed by SHADOW. When the FOUNTAINS fill the sky. All will fall into CHAOS. The TITANS will take form from the FOUNTAINS, and envelop the land in devastation. The surviving Darkners, crushed by the darkness, will slowly, one by one, turn into statues... Leaving the Lightners to fend for themselves. Lost eternally in an endless night... Is that your idea of paradise?\
52	''({{Beat}})''\
53	'''Queen:''' Oh Damn I Did Not Know That\
54	'''Ralsei:''' You... didn't?! But your whole plan was to--\
55	'''Queen:''' ''(laughs)'' I'm Just A Computer LMAO I Don't Know Everything. I Was Just Guessing Based Off The Knight's Actions. Why The Heck (Hell) Would I Want To End The World?
56	-->-- ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'', ''Chapter 2''
57
58	->'''Surtr:''' The flames must taste the flesh of many, many more people... You may wait here while I burn them all myself. I'll show them who is king! Ha-ha-hah!\
59	'''Veronica:''' No. I cannot allow this.\
60	'''Surtr:''' You what? \
61	'''Veronica:''' [[TheGoodKingdom Askr]] must die. The people, however... Once this land is conquered, they will become [[TheEmpire Embla]]'s. A ruler's duty is to the people, is it not?

70	->'''Neku:''' Whaddaya say? Can you lend us a hand here? For Shibuya's sake?\
71	'''Minamimoto:''' Hmph. The only "sake" that interests me is my own.\
72	'''Neku:''' All the more reason to help us, then. I know you've got your sights set on the city. And you can't take over if it gets erased.\

93
94	[[AC:Webcomics]]
95	->''"Elan, if a hero of your caliber is involved in a quest of such significance that you can't spare more than three days for [[ArchnemesisDad your old man]], then logic dictates that it probably involves trouncing some [[HypocriticalHumor cliched]] [[WrongGenreSavvy scenery-chewing]] villain bent on world conquest. As the [[EvilOverlord current ruler of one-third of the continent]], I have a vested interest in you doing exactly that."''
