World of Silence	comment	What happens when the Well-Intentioned Extremist villain with a Utopia Justifies the Means thought pattern thinks that the problems of the world lie in The Evils of Free Will. This is a unique kind of Dystopia: a world with no conflict and no infighting, but in which people have no emotions and no sense of self. Usually seen as a Fate Worse than Death for the entire world. What happens here is that the world becomes an empty and silent place. Maybe all humans are extinguished. Maybe they're all put in a stasis or turned into mindless beings. Maybe the whole world is put in a kind of temporal stasis. Whatever happens, it's usually not good. Usually, this is what happens when the antagonist is certain that the world is a sick and twisted place and that there is no way to make it any better without a complete overhaul. Humans Are Bastards is often a main theme in the story. Either way, it is up to the protagonists to try to stop the antagonist before it all goes to hell by showing that Humans Are Special after all and that not everyone is as mean and cruel as the antagonist thinks they are. If a final battle is involved, it can sometimes be seen as a Humanity on Trial kind of scenario. Surprisingly, the villain isn't usually given a Freudian Excuse. More often than not, it's a case of Fantastic Racism instead. Usually unrelated to Silence Is Golden. Examples

World of Silence / int_10d303a2	comment	In Shin Megami Tensei IV, the Four Archangels gently Mind Rape the people of the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado to convince them of the need to sever ties with Tokyo, which they plan to level into oblivion with a black hole. Their endgame is, essentially, erasing wisdom and knowledge (in a word, undoing the Original Sin). This would trap all remaining humans into their God-sanctioned playpen, unable to even understand that there is anything beyond it. Ironically, if Mastema's words are to be trusted (while he is an Unreliable Narrator, he has taken a level in kindness since his last appearance), this is very much not what God actually wants. Even more extreme is the White Faction, who try to end the entire universe so that no intelligent life can exist to suffer under the wrath of God.

World of Silence / int_1aacbbc9	comment	In Dragon Age, this is the whole point of Qunari society and the Qun, the dogma by which they live their life by. In their society, people are known only by their occupation/role in life and cannot deviate from it. Qunari society rejects the idea of free will, and see it as their goal to "enlighten" the world via conquest. A more complex example than most, since some people convert to the Qun voluntarily after exposure to it, and the point is made that Qunari society is maybe no different beneath the surface — whether you bake bread for money or bake bread because it's your assigned duty in the community, you still need to get up in the morning and knead the dough. However, some people also leave the Qun, even though that makes them animals to be hunted down in the eyes of other Qunari, and Qunari society has a number of fairly horrifying practices like turning dissenters into mindless zombies.

In "Happy Anniversary", a group of demons manipulate a college researcher who is working on a machine to stop the passage of time in a small area by magically advancing his research and then making him discover that his girlfriend plans to dump him. Once he finds out about this, he decides to take the time-stopping machine to his building and activate it just as he and his girlfriend are having pre-breakup sex. The demons take this opportunity to modify the machine so that the area of its effect will expand to cover the whole world. Angel thwarts their plans by unplugging the machine, ending its effect.

World of Silence / int_2d644371	comment	Tales Series: In Tales of Symphonia, the Big Bad wants to make everyone into lifeless beings so that discrimination will no longer exist. However, it's subtly implied that he's in denial over the fact that Exspheres strip people of their emotions, as he and his main followers use them with no adverse side-effects besides immortality, completely ignoring the many Mooks who are emotionless. It makes a lot more sense considering that deep down, the Big Bad has been subjected to a lot of Fantastic Racism, and his single-minded obsession over a world where everyone is equal effectively caused him to Mind Rape himself. In Tales of Berseria, the Abbey's ultimate goal is to suppress all human will and emotion, creating a world where people do nothing but work in the name of "reason" and shun all excesses and luxury. We get to temporarily see them succeed in applying this to one country, and the results are incredibly creepy, with old people flat-out saying they no longer have the right to live if they can no longer contribute to society and either offering themselves as bait for the Daemons or going into exile and letting themselves die, a corrupt businessman insisting he must commit suicide to atone for his sins, a little girl saying her pet dog should be abandoned since any animal that cannot provide food or labor is useless, and another little girl saying her mother deserved to be executed for stealing food.

World of Silence / int_2f203125	comment	Shin Megami Tensei: This is generally the endgame for any Law-aligned characters. In Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, the Reason of Shijima aims to create this world (indeed, "shijima" means "silence"). Ironically, the usually-chaotic demons absolutely love this idea, since it means that every being will be equivalent to a god (almost like a universal Enlightenment). In Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, where the forces of Law attempt to create this world, a world where every human mindlessly sings the praises of God forever. In Shin Megami Tensei IV, the Four Archangels gently Mind Rape the people of the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado to convince them of the need to sever ties with Tokyo, which they plan to level into oblivion with a black hole. Their endgame is, essentially, erasing wisdom and knowledge (in a word, undoing the Original Sin). This would trap all remaining humans into their God-sanctioned playpen, unable to even understand that there is anything beyond it. Ironically, if Mastema's words are to be trusted (while he is an Unreliable Narrator, he has taken a level in kindness since his last appearance), this is very much not what God actually wants. Even more extreme is the White Faction, who try to end the entire universe so that no intelligent life can exist to suffer under the wrath of God. The Fall in Persona 3 is described as this. Everybody save Aigis will have their psyches destroyed and all will suffer from Apathy Syndrome upon Nyx's coming, eventually dying due to being unable to take care of themselves. In Persona 4, this is the kind of world Izanami thinks the humans want. Of course, as she deduced this by observing Namatame and Adachi, one can say her information was a bit biased. In Persona 5 Royal, Dr. Maruki genuinely wanted everyone to be happy and sought to achieve this by usurping the power of a god in order to replace reality with one where everyone has everything they want and the more disagreeable members of society have their personalities rewritten. This comes at the cost of essentially robbing mankind of all its potential, as in Maruki's reality, nobody would have anything to strive for or any desire to improve themselves.

World of Silence / int_42ffb88e	comment	The SCP Foundation has SCP-3003 ("The End of History"), a distant planet inhabited by 30 billion Transplanted Humans whose minds have been overtaken by parasitic beetles called "marce". These beetles have forced their hosts to bend every single aspect of their lives to the benefit of the marce. The marce parasites turned the entire SCP-3003 planet into a singular Totalitarian Utilitarian state devoid of personal freedom due to everyone valuing the goodness of the state over themselves (a result of gaining hyper-rational behavior through the parasites). However, the result is so extremely effective the race is more advanced than whatever humanity can even hope to achieve on Earth, its members kept perpetually happy due to marce stimuli, and internal dissent is completely non-existent. As SCP-3003-2 states, this totalitarian efficiency it created is "The End of History", because no other forms of society could come after it.

World of Silence / int_5bd0554b	comment	Warcraft: In Warcraft III, it is implied that this is the ultimate goal of Knight Templar Arthas Menethil following his Faceâ€“Heel Turn, based on his words following his assassination of his father King Terenas Menethil, and the invasion of Lordaeron capital city by the Scourge. In the second expansion of World of Warcraft, based on what we see about how the Scourge works (members are effectively immortal unless they are killed), with mindless undead working tirelessly on the scourge war machine and sentient undead, who either take sadistic pleasure in killing on the Lich King's orders or are disgusted by it but can't go against their orders, it does seem possible that they would have succeeded in creating a World of Silence had they won. The Lich King would have been the only one who would have had free will. It is also implied that this is what the creator and leader of the Burning Legion, Sargeras, intends to do once he destroys all life in the universe and recreates the universe anew without imperfection. Though there is no information on how the resulting universe would be. The End Time instance involves traveling to a Bad Future where Deathwing succeeded in causing his Final Cataclysm, wiping out all life on Azeroth and turning the planet into a barren wasteland. The only remnants of life are the spirits of several fallen heroes who are now trapped in eternal torment. Murozond, the villain who created the End Time, sees it as "a blessing you simply cannot comprehend" and seems to believe that by altering the timeline so that this Bad Future happens, he is sparing Azeroth (and possibly the rest of the universe) from some even worse fate.

World of Silence / int_68c8e9ad	comment	Super Robot Wars: This trope is used by name by the Einst. Neue Einst Regisseur is an Eldritch Abomination who believes that his role is to preserve the universe(s), and the spread of intelligent life and conscious thought is leading to its decay. In order to restore a "world of silence", he starts by trying to find a way to "purify" humans, and when that turns out to be impossible, he decides to simply wipe them out and replace them with soulless Einst duplicates. That plan didn't turn out so well, either. It comes back again in Super Robot Wars OG: The Moon Dwellers when fighting XN-L, who wants to defeat the God of Evil by starving him out of negative emotions to feed on, a plan that entails killing all sentient life. Asked what would be left after that, she replies with "Silence", prompting the characters to speculate at a connection between XN-L's race and the Einst.

Orcus, demon lord of Undeath, is the most iconic example, wanting to turn everyone in the multiverse into an undead creature under his control. Atropus, the World Born Dead, has a similar MO, travelling throughout the Prime Material plane and causing zombie apocalypses on whatever poor planet he encounters. It was last spotted near Glyth, a planet in the Forgotten Realms solar system that used to be inhabited mostly by illithids — the key words being used to.

However, it's subtly implied that he's in denial over the fact that Exspheres strip people of their emotions, as he and his main followers use them with no adverse side-effects besides immortality, completely ignoring the many Mooks who are emotionless. It makes a lot more sense considering that deep down, the Big Bad has been subjected to a lot of Fantastic Racism, and his single-minded obsession over a world where everyone is equal effectively caused him to Mind Rape himself.

Rand creates a vision of a world without the Dark One, who is a metaphysical force of evil. At first, it appears to be a veritable utopia where people have no concept of violence and peace and prosperity reigns. As it becomes clear soon, this is only possibly because by destroying the Dark One, Rand has also destroyed the potential for conflict, however minor. Every person in the world is a vacant shell with simple minds, with no true free will. The understanding of what killing the Dark One would result in nearly breaks Rand and almost hands the victory over to him. Two of the Dark One's attacks take this form. The first is a vision of a world which at first appears happy and prosperous, but in which conscience has been cleanly excised from the human race, such that no one feels the slightest bit of empathy or love for another, and any person will back-stab another if he thinks it will help him, without feeling the slightest remorse. The second is the Dark One's idea of a compromise or bargain: if Rand will agree to stop trying to redeem the world, the Dark One will stop trying to corrupt it and will simply unmake everything.

Virgil, if he has undergone the events to make peace with his past, which resulted in him being dead for a short time, will confirm that what Kerghan says is true but notes that there are also benefits to being alive.

Those inflected try to convince everyone else to join them in their endless garden tending, by getting them squirted as well. On the plus side the spores cure even fatal diseases, giving their hosts perfect health.

When someone in the community says they are sad or angry, they are not talking about true grief or rage, but much shallower emotions. The word "love" is not unknown in the community, but it has lost relevancy. Jonas's parents enjoy his company very much, but they consider the word very generalized, meaningless to the point of being obsolete.

Light in this setting is the aspect of stasis and preservation; nothing can grow or change in its presence. The rest of the world outside of Norvrandt is a barren white plane called the Empty. There is nothing out there that can sustain life, and anyone who stays out in the Empty for too long are infected by the lingering light and eventually turn into sin eaters.

Her apparent goal (which is debated) is the total destruction of the Force as a result of her belief that galactic conflict is fueled by it exerting its will on individuals. Unfortunately, life pretty much runs on the Force, so at worst it would be the total destruction of all life in the galaxy. At best, it would result in this trope with all sapient life becoming as messed up in the head as the Yuuzhan Vong from New Jedi Order who went through exactly this (on a smaller scale) and never recovered. She was aware of the risks and willing to take them as she saw the Exile as proof that life without it is possible, although failed to take into account how desirable such a life actually is.

The inverse is also true; the Chaos Gods are the personification of all emotion, and thus the Forever War against them could never truly end (without a massive Deus ex machina from the God-Emperor) as killing them at best would more or less leave all sapient life Empty Shells, and at worst cause a Reality-Breaking Paradox.

World of Silence / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The original Cybermen were created with this in mind. If everyone was a Cyberman, there would be no more pain, no more loss, and no wars, because everyone would think the same. This is why they think that "upgrading" people is, basically, doing them a favor; after all, all they're doing is trying to reduce the amount of pain felt. The parallel-Earth Cybermen from the revival are similar; their creator's original goal was to prolong his own life, but after being converted himself, he embraces the "life without pain" concept. In his first appearance in "Genesis of the Daleks", this is one of Davros's justifications for the creation of the Daleks. Having spent his entire life in a world stuck in a Forever War between two races, he's decided that the only guarantee of peace is for one life-form to rise to the top and suppress all others. Of course, it's at least as much about him having the power to make this decision.

World of Silence / int_c51b8d7a	comment	In Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, the Reason of Shijima aims to create this world (indeed, "shijima" means "silence"). Ironically, the usually-chaotic demons absolutely love this idea, since it means that every being will be equivalent to a god (almost like a universal Enlightenment).

While Soul Edge is a sword of chaos and death, seeking nothing less than a world of endless warfare, bloodshed, and death, Soul Calibur seeks to freeze the world into crystalline perfection.

World of Silence / int_ea5b1996	comment	In Fallen Kingdom, Antonio's vision of the world post-Starfall is where everyone leads a pointless, peaceful existence with no conflict at all, the complete opposite of the colorful, adventurous lives the Mushroom Kingdom inhabitants lead. He holds this view because his own destructive battles with King Morton ravaged the kingdom and killed his wife.

She ended up turning her father into an Empty Shell, and declared an intent to "take away the pain" of the entire wizarding world before she was killed.

World of Silence / int_f2041376	comment	Charmed (1998): A two-parter has the cosmic balance be thrown off, causing the main and predominantly good universe to become too good. It's always daytime, everyone is insufferably happy and pleasant, and even the most minor of offensives (like using your cell phone in a hospital) are punished by death or dismemberment and having to pay a fine. The "utopia" created by the Avatars. All the adults were Stepford Smilers, and anyone who created conflict was erased from existence.
