I was talking about if Ozpin destroyed all 4 Relics(somehow), and by "Stalemate", I meant as in taking away Salems "Win Condition" by calling the Gods through the Relics. I wasn't implying the Relics is the only way she can win, only take away her current objective(with gathering the Relics to end Humanity once more).

The "Stalemate" in this situation would be taking away both their ability to summon the Gods. If Salen gets ahold of them, bye bye Humanity. If Ozpin gets ahold of them(and somehow manages to unite Humanity under one flag), he would "win" their little war. By no means is it Salems only way to win, but as it stands to our knowledge, it's the closest win she currently has. By taking that away, her plans take a hit.
