Give your players a “disintegration gun”.
What it actually does is shoot people into the future. In the final session all the people they shot with it blink into existence around them at once.

OP please change your url
If I was to do this, whoever gives them the “disintegration gun” would give the players a cryptic warning. Something like
Beware. This weapon will remove any enemy you may face from your path. But the debt will come back to be paid…with interest.
Maybe a bar that fills up. Release happening once capacity is reached
the roguelike Crawl has a similar mechanism with the “Banishment” ability. Anything you successfully banish goes away, but if you yourself ever go to the abyss there’s a very high chance they’ll be waiting for you.
