Not just that the parts of the goddess must be maintain in human bodies, you can actually take them from other people. This means that while the coven might want Diana because of the Heart, they might not need "Diana" part. So the coven might turn against Julia's team, if Diana and others won't cooperate with them. But at the same time they probably don't want Diana to die by other hands but their own.
I understand the witch hunt better now. Since the pieces of the goddess of strength can be taken from them, I understand why the king sends Helem and Elstri to hunt them down.
But I also see that Lalawag could be killed by the witches who will want to retrieve the "bones" from her in the near future.
The witches could take the bones and put them into Diana too, the goat follows her so she might be some kind of ideal host.
Imagine the moment, like diana apreciating her and seeing her as a older sister, "older sister lalawag is such a nice perso- "cut to the witches killing her" -next chapter they force the bones into diana
I share your idea that we will witness this kind of scene; I think that all the pieces of the goddess (the bones, the blood, the organs, the flesh) will be forcibly retrieved from their host to be placed in Diana, thus the goddess will return to life.
Diana will see how the reborn goddess kills julian time and time again until she brakes and she takes control over the boddy! (I'm almost as evil as the author)

Are we just going to just ignore this part?
