Competitions over which despot was worse are kinda futile. Even the worst ones didn't mass murder with their own bare hands. They operated by setting up a hierarchical control structure with a large bureacratic apparatus including a legal framework with the whole thing being animated by fear around rule compliance.
Despotism has a very systemic nature and requires the active cooperation of many law abiding individuals. Many of the worst crimes were carried out by banal people who belived themselves to be operating in the public interest and that someone higher in the control structure would take responsibility for their actions.-
