Vito’s reference is the Ultimate Evil prophecy from the Fifth Element fictional universe The Fifth Element is a 1997 English-language French science fiction action film directed by Luc Besson and co-written by Besson and Robert Mark Kamen from a story by Besson. Primarily set in the 23rd century, the film's central plot involves the survival of planet Earth, which becomes the responsibility of Korben Dallas, a taxicab driver and former special forces major after a young woman falls into his cab. To accomplish this, Dallas joins forces with her to recover four mystical stones essential for the defense of Earth against the impending attack of a malevolent cosmic entity. Father Vito Cornelius, a Priest of the 50th level Parish and expert in astrophenomena, is one of a long line of priests who have passed down "the knowledge" of The Great Evil, the Fifth Element, and four stones, and how to destroy evil using them. The Ultimate Evil is an ancient cosmic force that has for thousands of years tried to destroy Earth and all planets that contain life. After its emergence through a celestial alignment of three planets and one sun which happens every 5,000 years, each time has been thwarted by the Fifth Element. In the 23rd century, it approaches planet Earth upon finding out that the five elements are no longer in place to stop it. When the Ultimate Evil is killed, its body becomes a second moon for Earth, implying that Earth's first moon is possibly the body of a previous Ultimate Evil from billion of years ago, the second Ultimate Evil to attack the earth. It is possible that there is an entire race of Ultimate Evils. It is said in the novelization that the Ultimate Evil is made of anti-matter.
