Board Thread:Speculation House/@comment-38311868-20191112122005

Guys and girls. Call my guess a hunch made out of pure speculation but i think i have a slightly good idea on what Salem is planning.

According to the OFFICIAL book, https://rwby.fandom.com/wiki/The_World_of_RWBY:_The_Official_Companion, Salem's goal to absorb the powers of the Maidens and rule Remnant as its dark queen.

If so, then i might have a guess on how Salem will carry out her grand plan in the climax.

Once Salem has absorbed the powers of ALL four Maidens (Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall) albeit at the heavy cost of the CURRENT Maidens having been mortally wounded in the absorbing process as well as managing to acquire ALL four Relics (Creation, Destruction, Choice and Knowledge), she would perform some kind of ritual that would involve the Relics, Maiden Powers and the black pools of the Land of Darkness which continue to produce the Creatures of Grimm.

With the combined powers of her corrupted magic which is enhanced by Maidens' powers being absorbed into her being along with the vile and evil Pools of the Grimm, she could corrupt ALL four Relics to a dark and twisted form which she can utilize to reshape ALL of Remnant into her own desired vision.

The ENTIRE world of Remnant and its people would be rendered helpless by her dark magic spell as none of their Auras could protect them from the planet wide spell. Both humans and Faunus would be affected by the spell as a result. Not only that, since her plan is fulfilled, any and all of her remaining surviving followers had been rendered obsolete but instead of being killed by Salem, they would also be affected by the magic spell.

NO ONE is safe and immune from her spell. NO ONE. NOT EVEN Team RWBY.

The NEW Remnant would be one where she would rule as its one true goddess with ALL of humanity and ALL Faunus having ALL four gifts that the Gods of Light and Darkness had bestowed being taken away by Salem. No power and will to CREATE. No power and will to DESTROY. No desire and motivation for acquiring KNOWLEDGE. No freedom and desire to make CHOICES on their own. BUT, she gave ALL humans and Faunus the ability to use magic due to her original intent of replacing humanity with a more superior species.

Since there are absolutely NO negative emotions of any kind, the Creatures of Grimm will leave the humans and Faunus alone and just starve to death as well as disappear but Salem will NOT mind as she had no use for the Grimm since she had fulfilled her achieved vision of what she calls a perfect world.

In Salem's NEW world, information regarding the existence of the Gods of Light and Darkness were rendered non-existent from the collective minds of Remnant's ENTIRE populace. The Great War had been erased from history as it did NOT happen due to ALL kingdoms of Remnant are under the control of Salem since she is now the overall ruler of Remnant. Vale. Mistral. Atlas. Vacuo. ALL four of them under the control of Salem. Menagerie, the home continent of the Faunus was NO exception from Salem's spell.The existence of the Huntsman Academies as well as the occupation of Huntsmen and Huntresses have been wiped out by Salem's spell. In short, history has CHANGED !!!!! For the worse !!!!!!

The World of Remnant will be a living Hell as Remnant will be turned into a stagnant world that is deprived of its potential to grow and change as well as ALL of its people are now mindless zombies who are blindly following the ONE remaining individual who caused the spell in the first place. SALEM !!!!!!!!!
