The one who's going to destroy all that's good and true in the world (if not the world itself)? Make him (or her) God. Well, make them creator of life and the world in the first place. They're powerful enough to devote a billion years to creating life. And they're powerful enough to not care about it if it all goes away.Consider the Elder Gods from an H.P. Lovecraft-esque universe. Alien, all-powerful, and immense beyond human comprehension. They created the world, then went away to somewhere we're incapable of knowing. Now they want it back. Not as bad as the next one, though...Example: SPOILERSIn Chrono Trigger, when you hack open the outer shell of the final boss Lavos, you find an inner form, and before you fight it, one of your characters discovers that Lavos is radiating an incredible spectrum of life energy. From there, they discover that he actually created life on Earth, and has been guiding evolution ever since. He's been sleeping in the planet's core for millions or billions of years, waiting for the right time to emerge... and to eat all life. After which, he leaves and finds another planet, which he populates in a similar fashion... and eats that, too. It makes the PCs feel very very small.</blockquote>
