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

The Endsinger is up there. FFXIV Endwalker spoilers follow.

spoilerShe was tasked with finding the meaning of life, but the vast indifference of the universe turned her into the incarnation of depression. She determined that life is pointless and invariably leads to suffering, and decided to end all life in the universe as a kindness. She made her nest at the edge of creation, where she gathered all of the souls of the dead to prevent their reincarnation and feed on their despair and suffering, to eventually grow powerful enough to accelerate entropy and bring about the heat death of the universe.

She was defeated by the power of friendship. And our best frenemy.

On second thought, Valens van Varro is worse. Fuck that guy.

I wouldn't call her cruel. Misguided? Sure. Megalomaniacal? To a degree. But not cruel. As you say, she considered it a kindness.

She literally recreated civilizations from the souls of the dead at the height of their suffering to harvest their negativ effects on dynamis.
