The punishment is everlasting destruction. Nothing can be destroyed eternally as an on-going activity. Once something is destroyed, it's destroyed. You can't make something drenched in water any wetter than it already is. Same with destroyed. Once something is destroyed, it's destroyed.
Finally, the corpses of the unrighteous dead being an abhorrence has nothing to do with tears being wiped away. The tears of
Revelation 21:4 are in regards to tears of sorrow and loss which occurred in this life.
But in the resurrection, the righteous will, as much as God does, without the carnality of our emotions clouding our judgment, despise the unrighteous who warred against our God and hated His Christ, and we will abhor them, not bawl tears of sorrow for them.
Or if not, then
Isaiah 66:24 as it relates to
Mark 9:43-48 and is fulfilled in
Revelation 21:8 is a false prophecy.
