Vanity's ruler ruling
So today at locals I tried to activate interrupted kaiju slumber while my opponent controlled ruler but ruler states I can't special summon but interrupted kaiju destroys first then specials or is it the other way around and is that correct even with the ruling. I know you can stop ruler with sphere mode, and with impermanence.

The destroy Effect resolves but the special summon fizzles. I understand better
No. Your opponent already controlled Vanity's Ruler, so Interrupted Kaiju Slumber just couldn't be activated at all.
Only in the case of emptiness. Vanity's ruler would not be destroyed as you would not be able to activate kaiju slumber.
To activate an effect you must be able to resolve it fully with the field in its current state. Emptiness allows the destruction IF it is activated in response to slumber being activatedas there are two parts of the effect of slumber and as it was legally activated you can resolve as much as possible of the card. If emptiness is already active on the field you are not allowed to activate slumber.
