Spidergwen: I have a system?!

Chapter 149: The Gem and Movements

[3rd POV]

Staring at the gem in front of her, Gwen breathed out as she felt its power. The item in front of her was created by the being known as "Cyttorak" the Ruler of the "Crimson Cosmos" and a higher entity. 

Cyttorak was FAR above Gwen at the moment, as he was stronger in the "Marvel Totem Pole" than even Dormammu, and was one of the most powerful magical entities in the entire multiverse. In his own dimension, he was able to effortlessly defeat 1/5th of the Phoenix Force which is far more impressive than it sounds.

He was basically a Nigh-omnipotent entity that was not explained fully in the comics. And from what Gwen knew from all of her lives, even they didn't know his true power, as he had never actually shown it. But she knew that he was at LEAST stronger than Dormammu, and was likely superior to even Cthon who was...another bag of worms.

The fact that she could feel the call of the Gem so powerfully, meant one thing, and that was that Cyttorak wanted her as his avatar. And while she is certainly interested in becoming that avatar, she knew that he was...rather destructive in nature, and she'd rather not turn into a mindless being hellbent on destruction. So instead, she was going to wait until she was a bit more powerful, and had more abilities in line with mental control, before touching it.

That, and he'd have to wake up the Lords of Order and Chaos first, as once they wake up, she was confident that she could fight off his influence through them. As if they had risen as far as she had estimated, they were approaching the comic levels that they had in the DC mainline universe. And Nabu in that universe was...ridiculous. As in, able to fight God's Vengeance, Spectre.

But until then, she would wait and grow, while putting the gem away into the Tower of Fate, where it could be kept safe, and untouched by others. And the best part was, that Cyttorak wouldn't be able to create another gem, for only one could exist at one point in time.

"I know you can see me, ruler of the Crimson Cosmos. And while I will not become your avatar yet...if you give me some time for when I am ready, we can speak about me becoming one. And trust me, it'll be worth it, that much I think you can sense" Gwen spoke out loud, knowing the being could see her clearly.

She felt a gaze on her, as it washed over her she just kept still, not fighting it as it seemingly "Hummed" in approval?

'Interesting. Perhaps he can sense the destructive tendencies of some of my other lives? I mean, I was planning on sowing destruction as he asked, but in another universe, like the Marvel Zombies one, perhaps my other lives will be enough for him? Afterall, even I don't know why he wants to cause destruction' Gwen thought, knowing that a being like Cyttorak was mysterious, even to her.

Raising her hand, a soft glow emanated from it, as a portal opened under the Gem, as it slowly floated through. On the otherside was a magical pedestal created by the Tower. Said pedestal was quite literally covered in wards, runes, and various ancient magics that could restrain the gem. It was this pedestal that would hold the gem until Gwen was truly ready for its incredible power.

"That's rather...rewarding. But I guess when you steal an item from a nigh-omnipotent that can obliterate universes with laughable ease, you'd naturally get rewarded accordingly" Gwen muttered, surprised at the reward, before claiming the tickets in the form of 1 SSL Ticket.
