Forum:Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress vs. Divine Wrath

If Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress is played in attack position and then uses her effect to destroy a face down trap card which ends up being Divine Wrath, would Divine Wrath still destroy Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress because of its chain effect or would Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress remain on the field as Divine Wrath is destroyed? Keep in mind that Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress's effect was activated to destroy Divine Wrath before Divine Wrath was activated.

Could someone please clear the air for me on this? Thank you.

Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress Effect: (During your Main Phase: You can target 1 Spell/Trap card your opponent controls; change this card you control from face-up Attack Position to face-up Defense Position, and destroy that target, but this card's battle position cannot be changed until the end of your next turn, except with a card effect. During each of your End Phases: Send the top 3 cards of your Deck to the Graveyard. You must control this face-up card to activate and to resolve this effect.)

Divine Wrath Effect: (When a monster effect is activated: Discard 1 card; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that monster.)
