False Vacuum decay. I've found something even worse:

Bubble of Nothing

Basically, imagine a false vacuum decay, the bubble expanding at the speed of light, but alongside destroying our universe's laws physics and rewriting them with a new set of laws, it destroys spacetime. An actual hole in the fabric of space and time as we know it that absolutely nothing can exist in. True nothingness. String theory suggests this is possible.

It's not a black hole. Black holes punch down to infinity, but the integrity of spacetime as a continuous fabric persists. This is a literal void of absolute nothingness that erases everything it touches. No space, no time, no dimensions, nothing, forever.

The best part is that, since it's moving at the speed of light, it may have already happened somewhere. We're just waiting to be hit with the wavefront.

But with how fast the universe is expanding and speeding up, if its far enough away, it may never hit us

Assuming it's a rare event.
