It is precisely because she brought the Leviathan into the waiting room, appearing too powerful and aggressive, that Selene was targeted by everyone... and was directly eliminated.
As a consequence of the failed ritual, Selene's soul was damaged. Fortunately, with Aiwass and Saint John present, they jointly controlled the injury, preventing permanent damage. But still, she would be weakened for a month—a whole month unable to participate in the ascension ceremony.
Thus, Lily and Selene's progress completely diverged.
Apart from them, another who failed in ascension was Zhu Tang.
According to Zhu Tang, the ascension ceremony he participated in was that of the Lord of Scalefeather.
