Welcome to TOEquest.
You seem to have the illusion that energy can exist independent of matter. Like many this is a misunderstanding of the term "mass" which is the measurement of the inertial property of matter. (resistance to the change of motion)
Without matter there is nothing to move to create the function energy. Thus you cannot destroy anything that exists (matter, motion, nor energy). You can only change the state of matter's motion and this change represents one form of "energy".
Mass and energy are interchangeable only due to the fact that mass is a measure of the potential energy or the quantity of motion that is possible to be changed to another form of motion.
