And that genocide still would've resulted in a lower body count than the time inbetween has produced. And Grimm wouldn't have been an issue because Salem would still be on the LN side of things. I think you missed the part where she proposed to Ozma that, instead of saving mankind, they just create a new race of magic-bearing humans and destroy the non-magic-bearing humans. That was literally the entire reason he tried to lead their kids out of the castle in the middle of the night, which is what led to their fight in the first place, resulting in their kids being killed and Ozma being reincarnated a second time. When was that ever said? Right after Salem discovered their daughter's had magic. Besides, however close they came, they still would have failed in their current path because what would basically happen is that Salem and Oz would have to keep quashing pockets of resistance, breeding more violence and division. Nah, they could've easily established a Pax Romana once their ideals had spread.
