Forum:Card effects activation times?

Ok, I have a question pertaining to the Card Soul Absorption (Any card removed from play I gain 500 LP) and its timing.

I am currently building a "Just for fun" deck, and I realize that with Soul Absorption something like "Soul Release" would give me 2500 LP if all 5 cards were removed, and that Fire Princess would only do 500 because it happened in one lump sum.

However, I am looking at the card Macro Cosmos (Any card sent to the Graveyard is instead removed from play)

here is a scenario I am asking about,

I have Fire Princess face up on the field, and Macro Cosmos, Soul, and Spell Absorption.

I activate Tribute to the doomed (It not saying it had to go to the GY, I can discard)

Would it operate like:

Card is discarded for the cost, Activating MC, then SA, then FP effect to deal damage.

Then when TTTD is activated it is a spell, so Spell Absorption is activated, giving me 500 and FP deals 500.

Then Their Monster is destroyed, getting removed, Activating SA, then FP.

Finally my TTTD finished, getting removed for MC, then Activating SA, then FP.

So over all dealing 2000 points because different cards were discarded at different times, activating other cards multiple times.

OR

Would it all happen in one lump sum at the end of TTTD's effect resolving? Giving me 2000 LP, and only doing 500 with Fire Princess.

Sorry this is wordy and such, I just want to make sure my oddity/fun deck actually works, and I have not found any specific rulings on anything other than Soul Release and Dark Necrofeir and all happening at once.
