The end of the world... Those death metal album covers got it shockingly right!
— Wendy Corduroy, Gravity Falls
Light against the darkness, a fat torus of nothing, just debris. An entire world just wiped out. Not merely destroyed—the very first cut of the Grid energies would have been enough to do that—but obliterated, taken carefully, precisely, artistically apart; annihilation made into an aesthetic experience. The arrogant grace of it, the absolute-zero coldness of that sophisticated viciousness... it impressed almost as much as it appalled. Even he would admit to a certain reluctant admiration.
— The demolition of Vavatch Orbital, Consider Phlebas
It must be... magnificent. To hear a planet writhe, and scream. To feel it convulse beneath your own feet. Witness it dying with living eyes. Perhaps I may share this gift with every last living soul in the galaxy...
— Chapter Master Azariah Kyras, Dawn of War II: Retribution
The waves of flames that I've unleashed will eat us all alive.
The rage that burns within my heart is uncontrolled and wild:
AND NOW, EVERYTHING SHALL DIE!
Massive waves consume us all, the ocean is released.
Our dying world quakes underneath and sinks into the sea:
AND NOW, NOTHING WILL SURVIVE!
The rage that burns within my heart is uncontrolled and wild:
AND NOW, EVERYTHING SHALL DIE!
Massive waves consume us all, the ocean is released.
Our dying world quakes underneath and sinks into the sea:
AND NOW, NOTHING WILL SURVIVE!
— Amon Amarth, "Destroyer of the Universe"
Time's end is fast approaching
Heat death is now encroaching
Why don't you come along and see it with me?
Sparing you to see it will be my mercy!
Stars undergo implosion
Planets endure explosion
Oh, is there not a beauty in such expenses?
Do you comprehend? Have you come to your senses?
Blunders such as this have steep consequences!

It's always one hell of a party when Ragnarök rolls around

It's time to trash the planet, Ragnarök battleground

Fang: Man... it sucks that the end of the world is so pretty.
Trish: Right? It's hard to feel like everything's gonna be gone when it looks so beautiful right now.
