Spidergwen: I have a system?!

Chapter 148: Korea

[3rd POV] [Location: Korea]

Gwen was walking through the streets of Seoul, a smile on her face as she ate some of the local cuisine. She was in the country because one of her clones had found something rather...interesting. Something that she had made sure they kept a close eye out for, as it was...important.

The item in question was immensely powerful, and had a lot of potential...should she be able to actually use the damn thing. As due to its background, it was next to impossible for her to use it at the moment. So, she planned on claiming it for herself, and then storing it away until she could use it, similar to a certain Heart that was still hidden deep within the Tower of Fate, which is where this item would also proside.

The Tower of Fate had been massively strengthened thanks to wards she herself had put around it, and due to the Lords of Order growing stronger and stronger as they grew closer to awakening. Gwen wasn't entirely sure how powerful they would be, but it was several times what they were before. Even Vaatu was growing into a true Lord of Chaos, one that was especially proficient in Spirits and Elements.

The item was in the middle of nowhere in Korea, so she was just using the time to get some souvenirs for the girls, and maybe find some magical stuff if lucky. So far she hadn't found anything all that interesting, besides the great food and atmosphere. But she wasn't expecting much, as it seemed that most of the magic of this world was localized around New York, and a few other large cities, and Korea wasn't one of them.

She planned on eventually visiting places like Kamar-Taj which was the "homebase" of the Sorcerers of this Earth, similarly to the MCU. China due to their connections to the Iron Fist, which was one of the few things that could actually contend against the Phoenix Force, due to the nature of it. Wakanda was another one for very obvious reasons, as well as her wanting to meet Bast.

There were even more offworld places like Nowhere, The Inhumans on the Moon, the Shi'ar Empire, Xandar, and quite a few more. But all of them would come in the future, as she had to focus on Earth at the moment. Especially with beings like Thanos, Kang, Galactus, Annihilus, Dormammu, Celestials, and so many more were a thing. And she knew that it was only a matter of time at least one of them showed up, most likely being Thanos.

The Infinity stones of this universe did indeed exist, and were seemingly just as powerful as main "616-1" counterparts. Meaning...Gwen would be getting her hands on them as soon as she possibly could, especially the Mind Stone.

Her own stones were acting...weirdly ever since she entered this universe, thanks to there being another set of stones, it made them a bit weaker than they should have been from a universe like this one. But thankfully she still had the power from the previous universes, and once she claimed at least 5 of the infinity stones of this universe, she would fuse each of them into 5 stones made from two.

With her food done and eaten, her trinkets bought and put away, Gwen decided to make her way to where the item was.

[Deep into the forests of Korea]

Walking through the forests of Korea, Gwen let out a sigh 'Things are definitely different than the comics. Because this place would have long since been opened up and claimed. Unless it's already been claimed and this is a copy of the other item? I don't think there's a particular rule against that...so maybe that's the case? Or the original wielder of it has the same powers as in the comics, but without the item, making the powers a bit weaker? Guess I'll have to look into that particular aspect' Gwen thought, knowing that she'd need to do some thorough research into certain individuals and the changes that might be brought.
