Nope.

SAs on characters only stay active after they leave battle if they specifically say something like "for the game" or "until discarded".

but ongoing abilities stay in effect until the end of the phase they were activated in, unless the ability is negated, right?

Nice find, Russ.

Soundman, we need to know when Melchizedek was returned to territory. If he was returned to territory during the battle, and his ability was not negated, then the protection continues until the end of the battle phase.

If Mel was returned to territory at the end of battle because he survived the battle, then his SA ends after Battle Resolution.

Well, actually, either way his ability would end after Battle Resolution.  ;D
