This whole discussion is silly. Salem has lived for several millennia, and she's only been confirmed to have killed 5 people (her daughters and Lionheart). I assume she's killed more, but seriously, that's not that high a kill count for someone waging a war against tyrannical gods. Adam, by contrast, has been confirmed to have killed more people in the throne room at the beginning of Volume 6. Cinder has been confirmed to have killed 3 people, and she's only existed for, what, 30 years? Maybe less?

Cinder and Adam are far, FAR more bloodthirsty than Salem could ever be. And I'm also tired of people mindlessly going, "but she killed her daughters!" So did Ozma. They were caught in the crossfire between both of them. If you're going to blame Salem for that, Ozma is just as responsible.

The other thing about Salem is that she was content to sit quietly in her little hut for hundreds of years and not bother anyone. It wasn't until Ozma came back and fucked everything up that she set her sights on world conquest. Do you guys really see Cinder or Adam living a pacifist existence for any period of time? Because I fucking don't.
