“No no, the Destroyer is connected to the Grand Supreme Kai. A title Shin, while his, he doesn't feel 'adequate' for.” Whis answers you, Kars looking smug as Whis continues. “Before Majin Buu, there were five Supreme Kai. North Supreme Kai, South Supreme Kai, East and West. All ruled over by the Grand Supreme Kai. The Kai in charge of all lesser Kai.”
“And it is the Grand Supreme Kai who is the one whose life is connected to the Destroyer. Not a Kai in charge of more closely interacting with mortals?” King Cold asks Whis, who sighs. You only then realizing that he had used your question to turn the conversation away from the subject of Beerus' weakness. “A being who is supposed to be so far removed from the mortal realm that there is no chance of a mortal ever reaching them.”
“Haah, yes. That is how things are SUPPOSED to work. And still work, in the other universes last I heard.” Whis says with a slightly annoyed sigh. “The Cardinal Supreme Kai are the ones who should be interacting with the mortal world, seeding worlds with life.”
“But with no Cardinal Kai, the duty falls to the Grand Supreme Kai.” Kars adds in seriously, Whis glancing over to him, clearly annoyed. “Yet he cannot even fulfill the obligations of the East Supreme Kai, as he was before Majin Buu's rampage. The people of the Seventh Universe deserve better. And I intend on being better.”
“Tell me, Pillar Man. Is it arrogance or ego?” Whis asks him. And without hesitation, Kars answers boldly.
“Both. I KNOW I could do better for this universe than a man who wasted nearly a thousand years chasing a single sorcerer, allowing the Universe to fall to disrepair in his search for the one who killed his friends.” Kars says, his voice taking on a different tone than usual. “However, in this millennia-long chase, he has forgotten his purpose. Even with Majin Buu's defeat and his destructive body being taken by one with a mind capable of reason and rational thought, Shin still hasn't seeded a single world with life. He is actively failing in his purpose. The universe is wheels within wheels, when one stops the entire system begins to fall apart. And faulty parts must be replaced.”
“Even if that includes yourself?” Whis asks, to which Kars actually stands up. Turning fully to face Whis, kneeling down before the attendant.
