[3rd POV] [Gwen's Mindscape]

Gwen looked where Trigon was standing a few moments ago, before looking down to her right ring finger, finding a glowing green ring.

'...A Green Lantern ring' Gwen thought, staring at it. Inwardly she wondered what would happen if her symbiote absorbed it, as technically the ring was a piece of technology. But she also doubted that was a good idea, something told her it wouldn't be smart to do such a thing...not yet at least.

'If I get my hands on another one I'll try it' Gwen decided, as the space around her returned to its previous color. Not longer tinged with the demonic energies of Trigon. Instead it was glowing a soft green, the green glow of pure willpower.

"Gwen! Are you okay?!" Nabu asked, as he and the rest of the beings she was the host to, formed back into being.

"I'm alright. Better than ever actually!" Gwen said with a grin, lifting her hand, showing off her new Green Lantern ring.

The group blinked in shock, as Nabu looked at the ring.

"That ring in your hands..." Cyra muttered, realization settling in, on just how powerful that ring was, in the hands of someone like Gwen, who had the combined willpower of multiple different people.

"You're probably the most powerful Green Lantern on Earth, if not in the entire Green Lantern corps" Myrath said, as she also realized just how strong the ring was, in the hands of someone like Gwen.

"What happened to Trigon? A being on his level, does not just disappear" Hati asked, looking at Gwen.

"He got burnt by my willpower when I was reciting the Oath. I'm pretty sure I might have destroyed the fragment of him" Gwen said with a smile, as she looked upon them. They all looked at her wide eyed, knowing how strong he was.

"That...he must have been weakened by being within your mindscape" Nabu replied, causing Gwen to nod, having also thought that to be the case. The guy had conquered hundreds, if not thousands of universes for a reason, even if he was a mere fragment of him, he wouldn't have simply died like that in a normal fight. Not that Gwen would have stood a chance either way.

"For now, I think it'll be best if I return to the real world. I've got a new artifact to get used to, a power ring to figure out, and a girlfriend who will either be very happy to see me, or angry that I haven't contacted her...or both" Gwen said, cringing at the end, realizing that it was probably going to be a mixture of both.

"That would be for the best" Nabu said, agreeing to what she had said.

Gwen returned to the real world at those words.

Opening her eyes, she sighed as she realized that she had basically passed out.

Getting to her feet, she looked down to her chain, and low and behold, the helmet was on the left of the helmet of fate, while the Helmet of Chaos was on the right.
