“Well, if you haven't figured it out, they were killed.” Whis tells you rather bluntly. “Long, long before Beerus, other Destroyers didn't have such a high requirement for personal strength. And more than once, to protect their dying worlds, Destroyers were battled by stronger and stronger mortals, and even with the power of Hakai, a God of Destruction isn't immortal and can be killed. With the death of a Destroyer, the Grand Supreme Kai falls as well. And before my siblings and I were assigned to protect the Destroyers, when the universes were far smaller, the Cardinal Kai were not yet a thing. Resulting in a universe with no cycle of creation and destruction.”
“But if both were killed, how were they replaced?” Cooler asks, sounding genuinely curious.
“Why, Grand Zen-Oh of course. He personally created and appointed their replacements.” Whis says, your eyes widening. Everyone seems shocked by this, even Kars. He clearly wasn't aware of this either, soaking in all of this information with a zeal you've never seen from him before. “But after doing this several times, the illustrious Grand Zen-Oh grew bored of having to remake Destroyers and Kai, and with the Grand Priest's suggestion changed the divine hierarchy. Assigning one of my siblings to each of the eighteen universe's Destroyers, and changing the Kai system to a Cardinal Kai system, with the Grand Supreme Kai over them. As well as assigning each Heavenly Realm their own World Core, where more of the Core People, the race of the Kai, are born. Keeping Grand Zen-Oh from being burdened by a task so far beneath his notice, as well as having Supreme Kai born from the golden fruit ready to be raised into their roles.”
“I see.” you reply, shocked at how much information you were given. You hadn't expected Whis to humor you, but to give you all this information is rather... Surprising. “Thank you.”
“Of course. It is my place to instruct Destroyers.” he says, a mischievous twinkle in his eye as he gives you a grin. Leaving you questioning quite a lot as Whis turns his focus from you to Freeza. “But you, you seek this power. The power of a Destroyer, and all the responsibilities that entails. Are you truly ready to embrace such a role?”
And at being asked directly, Freeza doesn't immediately answer. He looks Whis in the eye, and for a moment he seems uncertain. He then glances to you, you seeing several conflicting emotions on his face. So, you decide to act.
