SpiderGwen: I have a system?!

Chapter 148: 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.

Like Reed Richards and the fact that he could potentially be more in line with his "Maker" counterpart, a villain that was incredibly dangerous, even more so than the likes of Dr Doom. But she doubted that'd be the case, at least, she hoped so.

After walking through the forest for around 5 minutes, Gwen had finally reached a small opening. Walking into said opening, Gwen slowly began to grin as she stared at the large temple before her. It was rundown, and obviously ancient, which...was exactly what she was looking for.

Walking closer and closer to the temple, she could feel the magical energy that was practically wafting from inside. It wasn't just energy that she could feel, but also a dangerous power that was rather malicious in nature.@@novelbin@@

As she took her first step inside, she could almost instantly feel the pull that was trying to affect her, and failing to. Trying to call her deeper inside, towards...something.

'Doesn't seem that there are any traps' Gwen thought, only to step on a rock as a clicking sound entered her ears, as the nearby wall shuddered open, revealing some sort of crossbow trap that tried firing at her, only to fail.

'... None that work' Gwen thought with a sweatdrop, before walking deeper in, ignoring the traps as none of them worked, and the ones that did, she effortlessly deactivated or walked through. Some of them were definitely magical in nature, but none were strong enough to damage her or anything. Not with how durable she had become now.

'Hopefully the Tower will be able to hold this thing with the other...object. Otherwise this is going to be an absolute pain in the ass to deal with. Because as much as I want the power that it has, it's also way too dangerous for me to mess with right now, not with what it is' Gwen thought, before continuing her thought process as she grew closer and closer to the item.

'I'll need to make some custom wards around it to make sure that no one besides me can get in or out of the room it will be held in. And I'll need to make sure it isn't anywhere near the Heart, not with what is inside that thing, and I don't even want to think about what'd happen if they interacted' Gwen thought, shaking her head at the mere thought of it.

Both of the items were rather mystical in nature, and both of them were strong enough that even Gwen would have to be serious when dealing with them. And both of the things they were connected to, were way too dangerous for Gwen to allow them to interact even slightly.

'But for now, I've got to actually get my hands on the thing first' Gwen thought with a sigh, as she walked in deeper, and gazed upon her prize, the item that she was here for, and an incredibly powerful object from the Marvel Universe, one that gave birth to a

rather...Unstoppable villain.

The item exuded a deep crimson power that caused it to glow and radiate immense amounts of power, as if reacting to Gwen's presence, and approving of her. For this Gem was truly

incredible.

For the item in front of her, and the one she had been so interested in was...

The Crimson Gem of Cyttorak

That's the end of the chapter!

The Crimson Gem of Cyttorak, aka the item that gives the Juggernaut all of his power, and makes him the "Unstoppable/Irresistible Force Embodiment" and one of the most powerful villains in Marvel, should he be able to harness the true power of this gem.

Gwen won't be using it for a while, as she had thought during this chapter, as she isn't ready for it just yet. But it WILL be important in the future as you'd assume, alongside another couple of items. But...no spoilers.

Cain Marko (Juggernaut) does still exist, but his existence will be explained in the future.

Anyways, have a good day!
