The **End Times** is one of the few events guaranteed within all of the Megaverse, that being the end of both humanity as well as their planet Earth. The alternate versions of this planet will be disappearing on mass through varying means of destruction.

## Overview

The Earth has to end eventually, it's existence alone was a miracle, it's continued existence was an even bigger one. That being said, nothing lasts forever, everything withers, everything dies. Along with the Earth, it's main species, the humans, were also similarly lucky, and will also eventually end.

This is one guarantee throughout the Megaverse, that the most populated planet will eventually die. Despite the infinite possibilities, the possibility of planetary destruction will grow closer and closer, and eventually every version of Earth will be dead or destroyed, and any amount of possibility will be reduced to zero.

## Description

The End of Times will happen on multiple planes of existence, the Human Realm, Skyland, and Underworld will be affected in some way, shape, or form. While they won't be destroyed, they won't be able to go back to the way they were, despite their ethereal state they will be forced to change. The physical planes of the Megaverse themselves will ultimately be fine, though they too will eventually wither in the Ultimate fate of the universe.

The individuals involved however will be left with nothing left but to finally rest. All of humans, dead an alive, will be forced to truly die, in body, mind, and soul. The Spirits, especially the deities, have a much more varied fate. Despite their supposed immortality, many of them will die, and they will be forced to remain in the Overvoid.

## History

The countless versions of Earth will be disappearing on mass from the Parallel Universes of the many multiverses of the singular Megaverse. The gods will most definitely notice if they had not already been involved in the destruction of the planets, many wars among gods will occur, helping to speed the process. This will get the realms Skyland, Underworld, and even Heaven and Hell involved, changing those locations in the process.

Across many versions of this planet, different cataclysms would occur across many different tribes of gods. The specifics of these events have already been recorded, and can be read here:

* Apocalypse
* Archon Invasion
* End of Works and Days
* Evrenin Sonu
* Last Judgment
* Ragnarök

Eventually however, Armageddon will finally come to an end. Humanity will most definitely be extinct on a megaversal level, the gods and all other spiritual beings will be changed in one way or another. This event will finally conclude when Dʰéǵʰōm and Dyēus, and with them the final version of Earth, finally die. Everything can finally relax, for creation had become much more quiet.

## Myths and Legends

An end of the world or even an end of humanity is a common theme among mythology and religion. Since they exist to explain things like the creation of life, it would be easy to conclude that they would explain the end of life too. That being said, an end of life scenario is much less common compared to the aforementioned creation.

## Quotes

> End Time is literally what it sounds like, the end of time. I don't know what would happen. Neither do the demons and the angels. What we do know, however, is that there's going to be *major* changes happening when it comes.

> I'd like to believe that the end of humanity is the species equivalent to when you graduate from high school. A lot of things that you thought were problems would finally no longer matter, that's all in the past. No matter the struggle, no matter the tribulation, that all can't affect you anymore. Everything is calm, you can finally rest.
