I'm not just talking cruelty in terms of their goals, but also how they went about achieving their goals

First thought is that its almost certainly something from Warhammer 40k. Probably one of the Dark Eldar (or just their civilization as a whole). They're a super-advanced, post-scarcity civilization that basically worships torture and uses their technology to "perfect" it.

Edit: spelling

Or Erebus, because fuck him.

Na, the C'Tan is the cruelest. You Necrons want to be free of cancer riddles bodies we caused by consuming your sun and become immortality? Sure, here is a metal container for your brain while we consume your essence because it taste better than solar winds.

Got what they deserved though.
