The only nitpick I have here is that they're not collecting the Relics to use to defeat Salem; they're trying to keep the Relics out of Salem's hands. If they assemble the Relics right now, literally the only thing that will happen is that the gods will return, go "Wow, you people still fight about everything like selfish children" and Thanos snap the entire planet out of existence... which is apparently what Salem wants.
