The Crushing Fist, as first named by a deceased [[Sentient Flame]] during interrogation by the unnamed brunette woman with the [[Soul Reader (Book)]], is considered to be an upcoming apocalypse that will result in the end of the multiverse. The origin and nature of The Crushing Fist is largely unknown, however it is a literal crushing force, which is causing earthquakes and dimensional rifts to appear between different parallel realities. It is the cause of the loud metallic screeching noises heard on many worlds affected by disasters.
The Crushing Fist is reported by [[Higgins]] to have been brought on by the actions of a brigadier-general known as [[The Sword]], and later as The Double-Edged Sword. [[Higgins]] believes it to have been caused by [[The Sword]] going too far in with his brutal tactics. [[The First World]] has put both [[The Sword]] and a group of [[Brownshirt]]s on trial, accused of bringing The Crushing Fist down on the multiverse.
The Crushing Fist is described as such due to the way it is visualized in the structure of the multiverse. It appears as five lines of crushed worlds within the structure, which gives it the appearance of a hand holding a globe.
