[3rd POV]
Upon seeing the corpse of their father, the Inheritors roared in rage as Morlun marched towards Gwen with a growl echoing from his throat, threatening to attack her.
Sadly for him, this was Gwen, someone who had just quite literally slapped the head off of Solus's body, instantly killing the patriarch of the Inheritors like he was nothing more than a minor annoyance. As she had killed Mephisto, Nightmare, and dozens of other entities that could obliterate solar systems.
Killing Solus was laughably easy in comparison, and Morlun would end up in the same situation, as he grew closer to her, her hand shot out, stopping his strike from even reaching her, before her left fist obliterated his upper body like it was nothing.
The Spider people could only watch in wide eyed awe and in many cases, horror. Watching as she tore through each and every one of the inheritors, tearing them apart limb from limb as she killed each of them.
And it would seem that she did it with such ease that they dared not return, not yet.
Standing over the corpses of the Inheritors, Gwen let out a sigh as she noticed the looks everyone was giving her. The horror and awe that they felt towards her actions, and what she had just done to the Inheritors.
"Wha-what did you just do?!" One of the Spidermen asked, wide eyed as they watched her clean off the blood from her form, acting as if she hadn't just killed the inheritors.
"I dealt with the problem, simple as that. They're going to come back anyways thanks to their cloning technology, so killing them means absolutely nothing. And these inheritors? These monsters? They are not people that we can allow to live, for both our safety, and the safety of the greater multiverse" Gwen responded, not caring for the way they were looking at her.
The more she assimilated new characters, the more her care for the thoughts of others decreased. She could care less how they thought of her, but she did care when it began to get in her way and became a problem.
"But-but you just slaughtered them without even thinking about it! Don't you feel bad at all?" Another of the Spider people asked, confused on how she didn't even seem to care. None of them killed people so thoughtlessly, at least, not many of them did.
"No? They were going to kill us and laugh as they did it. And they would have taken some of the women here as sex slaves to use as they want. You really think I'd feel bad for monsters like that? Monsters that literally kill our fellow Spider Totems for sport?" Gwen responded, wondering how and why they could defend this sort of thing.
These people literally treated them like cattle, like nothing more than prey to consume and eat. And now they were attacking her for killing them.
It was idiotic in her eyes.
Hearing the words she had spoken, the ones that were against her killing went silent, not really sure how to respond to that sort of thing. Gwen was right that they would have been turned into slaves if they weren't killed, and nobody wanted to live through that.
Rolling her eyes at the looks they were giving her, Gwen glanced at the bodies as she lifted her hand, a crimson glow emanating from it as the bodies were obliterated from existence. When in actuality she had absorbed them into herself to strengthen her body, especially Solus's body.
The power of Captain Universe had already left the body after she killed him, so it was now flowing back into the universe in order to find someone else to host its power. Gwen was half tempted to take the power for herself, but knew better than to touch the power.
It was deeply connected to the universe it was from, so taking it would be a bad idea. Only if it was a dying universe would it realistically be okay to take the power for herself.
Gwen was cut off from her thoughts in regards to the Inheritors and the Captain Universe, as a portal opened above them, in flying Peter 616, the Gwen of Earth 65, and a few others, including a large mecha Spiderman kinda like the mechs from Power Rangers.
Landing in the clearing, Peter 616 looked around wide eyed, he saw the corpses of his fellow Spider people, their bodies being gathered so they could eventually be returned to their home universes. But he also noticed that everyone was steering clear of Gwen, and most of them were looking at her in disgust.
The Peter from Gwen's universe was currently out with Miles from Earth 1610, as well as the Ultimate Spiderman from the TV show, recruiting other Spider folk for the team.
Gwen wondered how he would react, but considering she had killed during the New York invasion, she imagined he wouldn't be entirely against her, but would likely be a little blind sided.
"What happened here?" Peter 616 asked, noticing the way everyone was reacting to Gwen's presence, while Gwen 65 looked at Gwen with surprise. She had never met a counterpart of hers, not one that was also a Ghost Spider.
"The inheritors invaded. But...Gwen here took care of them...brutally" One of the other Peters said, pointing at Gwen. Peter 616 frowned at these words.
"Brutally? What does that mean?"
"It means she slaughtered them, all of them. She killed each and every one of them without even hesitating, like it was nothing" One of the Spider Women said, trying to hide her disgust for Gwen's actions as Peter 616 looked at her with wide eyes.
"Oh get off your high horses. She made the right decision, killing them. Had she not, then they would just continue to come back until we're all dead or worse. But because she showed off that power of hers, they probably won't be coming back anytime soon, giving us time to regroup and recover" Spider Punk said, scoffing at the reactions everyone was giving her.
Sure it was brutal, but brutality was what they needed right now.
"Agreed, she made the most sensible decision by killing them. By doing so she gave us time to prepare for a counterattack against them. And with that time we might be able to stop them, for good. Especially if Gwendolyn is willing to give us her power" Superior said, glancing at Gwen who nodded.
"I don't see why not. The Inheritors are annoying, so it's best to get rid of them" Gwen responded with a nod, not minding the idea of helping Superior. He was arrogant, but he wasn't an idiot.
"And what of your words about Mephisto? You said that Solus should be as strong as Mephisto to be a problem, right? What do you have to do with Mephisto?" One of the Spidermen asked, he had super hearing, so he was able to clearly hear what she had said to Solus as she killed him.
Upon hearing the mention of Mephisto, Peter 616's eyes widened as he looked at her in disbelief, as had the other Spider people that knew of the man.
"You made a deal with Mephisto!? Are you-" "I think you are thinking incorrectly, Peter. I did not make a deal with that fool, I killed him. The Mephisto in my universe is dead because I am the one who slayed him and took his dimension for my own" Gwen cut him off, being blunt, not even hiding the truth as there wasn't any point.
They couldn't do anything to her.
"Y-I-What?!" Peter 616 exclaimed, not sure how to react to that information. Nobody in his universe had been able to permanently take out Mephisto, no matter how hard they tried. And yet here Gwen was, casually admitting that she killed the man and literally RULES HELL.
Seeing his reaction, Gwen just shrugged "It wasn't that difficult, and I'm a lot stronger than I look" Gwen responded, as Peter 616 just looked at her, flabbergasted as he wondered if having her on their side was a good thing or a bad thing. And while she did kill the Inheritors, he couldn't help but inwardly admit that she was the best chance they had to defeat them, for good.
With that in mind, Gwen looked over the crowd, before letting out a sigh and asking the question on her mind, and that was...
"So...what now?"
