The ultimate goal of the Vex is to remake all of reality in their image, but the exact details of that goal are ambiguous. [[Praedyth]] described the Vex as being motivated by a "Pattern," which drives the Vex to either reshape or destroy everything in their path. [[Osiris]] referred to the Vex's objective as "Convergence," an outcome where all life in the universe has been converted to a simplified, digital form. [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]] believed that the Vex sought to dominate ''"every possible end state of the universe,"'' which [[Oryx, the Taken King|Oryx]] describes as building ''"an emperor for all outcomes"'' to contrast him becoming ''"the king of only one."''<ref name = "An Emperor For All Outcomes"/> According to [[Maya Sundaresh]], a universe ruled by the Vex would be one in which every star is collapsed into a black hole and every new universe created as a result similarly conquered, and their combined processing power used to simulate and conquer every possible past, and these simulated pasts used to host and invade additional simulations in infinite recursion.<ref>'''[[Mysterious Logbook]]''', "NOTE—ELISABETH'S PLEA", ''[[Mysterious_Logbook#NOTE—Elisabeth’s_Plea|NOTE—ELISABETH'S PLEA]]''</ref> As seen in the [[Infinite Forest]], to ensure their ideal future, the Vex seek to bring about a state where neither the [[Light]] nor the [[Darkness]] exist any longer.
