Choose The Form of the Destructor

See, I've got a real disciplined mind and can keep it blank indefinitely.

So for me, at some point Gozer would call bullshit and just say "Damn it! That's your choice!" For me, it would be the blank itself. Annihilation via erasure - a slow, spreading nothingness that would convert and engulf everything that touches it into a mind-boggling absolute lack.

Not even hard vacuum! Nothing so prosaic. It would be: a spreading total absence of force, matter, energy, thought, color, heat or cold, light or dark. I can't even conceptualize what it would look like. You'd be seeing something your mind could not take in, but you would know what was coming for you: the concept of nothing, realized to an impossible but undeniable degree.

And after it's finished with you, it moves on to everything. And after it's finished with everything, there won't even be a consciousness or memory left of what once was.

But then you'd say, "Wait - that would be unstoppable, how would you even defeat a thing like that?"

Duh. Cross the streams.

Cross the streams works no matter what form the Destructor takes.
