The thing is, regardless of her ambitions, there is nothing she could have done all this time to learn how to kill or control a god, save finding a way to kill herself or Ozpin* for good(*even then, she'd have no way of knowing it worked)

As far as we know, that is. Its been thousands of years and if my theory is correct, I think Salem has either found a way to destroy/dominate the gods, or at least thinks she can do it. Even with her backstory revealed, there's still a lot we don't know about Salem. So it wouldn't surprise me if she at least thinks she can do it. And otherwise, she can keep the Relics and only bring them together when she thinks she can destroy/dominate them them.

Again, there is nothing comparable she could have tried killing, it'd be like assuming you can kill Dr. Manhattan in Watchmen, while the character thought it might work, he was prepared for the consequences if it failed. If Salem attempts this, in no way should she be assuming her death is off the table, therefore we can assume it is at least one of her "win conditions.
