How can she die? If there was a way to kill her Kishi would have pursued that path to reassure the viewer that she won't come back. Instead he had to seal her in another dimension? Immortal is immortal, regardless of her lifespan (she is basically the manifestation of natural energy which is virtually unlimited so she can live off it for an unbelievably long time), she cannot be killed or die of natural causes. That's why she was proclaimed a 'goddess' and feared by the people.
