[3rd POV]
More time had passed since Gwen had officially conquered the three domains that were not under God Emperor Doom's rule. Time that she had spent accomplishing a few things that she had been preparing, more specifically that in which she had prepared in the new domains under her rule.
Preparations regarding her armies.
The droids that she had been creating had now reached levels of power that had surpassed what she had previously been making, especially once she started to introduce not only the magical elements to them, but also biological and plant elements to them.
The latter idea had come to her after she sat down and watched a movie in her own boredom, this movie being "Avatar". This had given her the idea of introducing plant like elements to the androids, which now gave them the ability to connect with nature itself, becoming this rather odd combination of magic, metal and plant.
Thanks to this, she had been introducing dozens of new traits and abilities onto the androids in question, strengthening the androids further by applying "Plant Like" traits in them. Like obtaining power from the sun, being able to grow and mutate according to their surroundings, and all sorts of other abilities that were massively helping them at the moment.
Due to these changes, her army had been growing massively in terms of power, and the sheer variety of tasks that they had been getting dangerously good at, was impressive even to her.
And thanks to their new power that was rising day by day, the "Cities" had been massively growing as she had been creating new androids, more zombies, and more of the creatures that make up the Annihilation Wave.
The zombies were particularly helpful in this case, as they had infinite stamina, and were able to use the powers of those that they were turned from. And considering the sheer amount of zombies that she currently had in her army, she had a LOT of variety to choose from.
And with the viruses and dozens of serums that she was pumping into them, the powers that they did have even before she began to mutate them, had been getting strengthened more and more over the weeks, making them even more deadly.
Besides evolving and upgrading her army further over the weeks, Gwen had been slowly but surely exploring the other domains of the Battleworld. She wanted to find out all of its intricacies, and locate all of the items of note that were present there.
She was confident that there were several devices and objects in this new world that she could potentially use against Doom, and even if she could not use them against him, she was certain that she could use them against the soldiers of Doom.
She had found a few copies of the Infinity Gauntlet, all of them being hidden, lost, or locked up in some vault.
She had stolen each and every single one of them. Leaving only the one that appeared in the comics themselves that was utilized by Black Panther during the events of Secret Wars.
Absorbing them hadn't really given her much, but it was still a power boost, and she wasn't going to complain about it. She ended up absorbing three of the four that she had gathered, while giving the last infinity gauntlet to Ultron, who had the stones infused into his metallic body, strengthening it even further than it already had been.
This was enough to boost his power by a dramatic amount, and gave him the means to fight and defeat most of the foes that Doom was going to throw at them while she was away. That way she wouldn't need to worry much.
At the moment Gwen was floating in the skies above Battleworld, silently spreading her senses to look for the Life Rafts that should finally be opening. She knew that the Maker as well as Thanos and his servants are in one of the rafts, while the other had the people she was actually looking for.
The heroes of 616. This raft was the one that had Reed Richards inside, who would be the best person to distract Doom while she went to speak with Molecule Man. At the same time, it also housed a Phoenix Force empowered Scott summers too, he wouldn't do anything to Doom, but he'd also serve as a decent enough distraction.
The other raft also had Miles Morales from Earth 1610, but he was hidden away on there so it would be a bit before she could see him.
She wished to speak with Molecule Man to either absorb the power of the man, or to speak with him about protecting Battleworld while she was busy fighting against Doom. Either of them would work, but thanks to the work she had accomplished over the month, she was pretty certain she could protect the planet by herself at this point.
So it might be more prudent to absorb Molecule Man instead of using him to defend the place.
"So that's where they are" Gwen muttered to herself, glancing at the Life Raft of the villains, as they stepped out of it, one of the members of the cabal throwing a spear into the heart of an elderly member of the Thor Corps, a corp made up of hundreds of Thors from around the multiverse.
Another spear ripped through his heart, killing him instantly. But not before he warned his comrades to flee and warn the "Sheriff" who was Doctor Strange of Earth 616, one of the three living individuals that remembers what came before.
The other two were Doom himself and Molecule Man. At least, that was without including Gwen. But nobody knew about Gwen, beyond the fact that someone was protecting the three domains that were not underneath Dooms control.
"And that's Thanos of 616? He's...weaker than I was expecting to be honest" Gwen said to herself, watching as she sipped on her tea with a bored expression on her face.
She also noticed that the Maker had left the life raft a few moments later, and she paused when seeing him. She knew that he was easily the most dangerous person in that little group, and it wasn't close. Sure, Thanos might be more powerful in terms of pure power, but mentally? The Maker was vastly superior.
And that made him far more dangerous in her eyes. As brains were far better than brawn in 99% of the cases.
He'd be the first that she'd get rid of, as he was too dangerous to keep alive. And she knew that the man would cause some serious issues in the future if she leaves him be.
The rest she didn't really care about to be honest, as most of them would die anyway. Doom would be the one to bring about that part. Gwen wouldn't have to do anything.
"Now that they've escaped, Strange will soon be opening the life raft that he has on his little island. Once that happens, I can move onto the next part of the plan and finally speak with Molecule Man, and hopefully manage to obtain his power for myself" Gwen muttered to herself, silently watching as the events continued to go as they had in the comics, with no real differences.
Time slowly passed as she silently watched, before eventually, she saw it. Strange opening up the life raft and finally releasing the heroes of Earth 616.
Upon seeing this, Gwen could only grin, as she teleported off with one thought on her mind.
