[3rd POV]
The emotional embodiments had settled into her quite nicely, the power that they brought her was very quickly adapted to and a nice boon to her own.
After getting back home, Gwen had decided to gather a few other things that she had wanted that was in this multiverse. Powerful objects of immense power that would be a great boon for the eventual fight against Knull, and the more impending battle against Trigon.
Trigon was strong, but she was pretty confident that nowadays she was stronger than him, if not, she was quite close to his level of power. As he was weaker than Dormammu, and she was around the level of Dormammu. So she should be able to defeat him without too much difficulty.
It was more so the things that the death of Trigon will cause that could prove to be a threat. Like his many children and their eventual decisions to invade or cause problems. The reactions of other cosmic entities that are similar to Trigon.
And most notably, the reactions of the entities that were involved with the running of Hell, and dimensions similar. Like...
Lucifer Morningstar.
He was not a man that she could even hope to contend with at the moment, and was not someone she wanted to make angry. He was likely the second or third strongest being in the entire DC Multiverse, and was similar to Pre-Retcon Beyonder in power, maybe even beyond him.
Basically, he was stronger than Knull. Stronger than the ones causing the Incursions of the Marvel Multiverse. Stronger than the architect of the Seven Hidden Forces. Stronger than all of them.
Aka not something she can touch just yet.
Not that she wanted to. She actually didn't mind the man much and knew he wasn't really that evil, at least not anymore. So she'd much prefer to just leave him alone, and therefore he leaves her alone.
But she wasn't sure what her killing Trigon would do, and if the man would be angry. But at the same time, she couldn't afford to leave Trigon alive, and more than that, she needed to kill him for Raven. She had already told her that she was going to kill the man, so she'd kill him.
She'd just have to deal with the side effects of it later on.
In order to prepare for Knull, she decided to gather the items first and then take care of Trigon. So that after killing Trigon she could leave before the cosmic entities of this multiverse potentially come after her.
The items that she needed though...were a completely different story. She had a long list of items, and they were spread out throughout the multiverse, and there were many different iterations of them, and she wished to gather as many of them as possible.
And these items were:
Nth Metal from Various universes.
Mother Boxes.
Father Boxes.
Starheart.
The various power rings of other universes.
Cosmic Rod.
Emerald Eye of Ekron.
The Phantom Power Ring (The Ring of Volthoom).
The Gold Power Ring (Joy).
The Central Power Batteries of the different corps (In dead universes, so she didn't accidentally fuck over entire corps).
The various beetle scarabs.
Trident of Lucifer.
The Worlogog.
The Mobius Chair.
There was another very very very very powerful "Item" that she knew she could claim. But she was...not even going to think of touching it with a six foot pole. Because...it would piss off every cosmic entity in the multiverse.
Afterall...it was the Anti-life equation.
Yeah, she did know it. As would a lot of comic readers, as it was directly given out during the comics. And it was...not hard for her to use, but she wasn't going to.
But...there was another equation that she should be able to learn without fearing the wrath of thousands of cosmic entities. And that was...
The Life Equation.
The natural opposite of the Anti-Life, and the perfect thing for her. And if she obtained a very very special ring...then she'd be able to use it to its fullest potential. The ring?
...The White Lantern Ring.
The most powerful lantern ring there was, and one of the most powerful weapons in the DC multiverse. But it was also difficult to obtain, and even more difficult to keep. As it would only be given out by the Life entity, which was another of the "Emotional" embodiments.
Besides the equation and the ring, there were others that she could grow in tune with and gain the ability to use. Like...
The Speed Force
The Sage Force
The Strength Force
The Life Force
The Green
The Red
The Grey
The Clear
The Rot
The White
The Orange (Aka the parliament of Flames)
The Melt
The Metal
The Divided
The Alpha Effect
The power that all of these energies, forces, and effects would give her was...immense, truly immense. And what was even better, was that she had the ability to connect to each and every single one of them thanks to her being a God connected to each from her absorption of the thousands of Gods she had killed over the years.
The only real problem was that these forces were somewhat sentient, and in the case of the Speed Force, quite literally was sentient. And while she could easily connect herself to the speed force of the greater multiverse, massively boosting her speed, she was not sure what the speed force would have to say to that.
So it was best for her to start with the Sage force and Strength force, then move to the others. The Green, Red, and the others would be the best for her to go with, as she was literally a God of Nature several times over, so connecting to them wouldn't be difficult for her.
But for now, she decided to focus on finding and gathering the items she needed for the future. Which was a lot. So, she made a few thousand clones and sent them out into the multiverse to gather the easier objects.
There were some harder ones that she herself would have to grab in person, like the Warlogog, The Mobius Chair, The Star Heart, and the Phantom Power Ring. Each of them were incredibly powerful and would be protected by equally powerful entities, so she would need to be very careful with her method of grabbing them.
At the moment her clones were out in the multiverse gathering a few thousand power rings from around the multiverse, one of each from each universe they traveled to. So that she could have her symbiote absorb each and every single one, massively boosting the power that she could output, and would only continue to increase it thanks to Ion.
And thanks to her clones traveling to each universe, her emotional embodiments were all growing rapidly as they connected to them, "Sharing" the universe with their counterparts.
Sitting in the office of the Tower of Fate, Gwen was currently conversing with Nabu about something rather important.
"Say, Nabu, what would happen if I took other Helmets of Fate and combined them with yours?" Gwen asked, wondering if she should combine them to strengthen her order magic.
'It would have a detrimental effect on that universe, potentially allowing for Chaos to reign supreme. It is not a good idea, Gwen' Nabu responded inwardly.
"Hmm...and what if I only took the helmet from dead universes? Ones where it is doomed to fall and fail? What then?" Gwen asked, as Nabu went silent for a few moments before responding.
'...That...would likely not cause any detrimental problems, as that universe is already doomed to fall. So...I suppose it should be fine. BUT it would only be permitted should it be a universe that is destined to die or already dead' Nabu responded, as Gwen nodded in agreement, as that was more than enough for her.
"That's fine. And what about you, Teekl?"
'You can take as many of me as you want, it won't cause any problems for us, as we're already chaotic, master. It wouldn't negatively effect the universe at all' Teekl responded, as Gwen smirked, one thought on her mind.
'...Guess it's time to give you guys some upgrades!'
