Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Taking Care of Cinder
[3rd POV]
Finding Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury had not been a hard task. Her eyes had constantly been showing her exactly what she needed to see, and where she needed to go. The group had been hiding out in their own little area, away from the eyes of others, so that they could plan their invasion with Salem without being caught. Of course, that would normally have worked, but with Gwen there...not anymore.
Walking through the halls of the Arena, Gwen eventually found herself in front of the door to their room. A smile formed on her face as she knew that once she takes care of Mercury and Cinder (Emerald was one that she did think could be helped, so perhaps jail or handing her over to someone trustworthy would help her out), it would be time to go after Salem, and then the Gods after that.
Her clones were already spread throughout the world, killing off the remains of the grimm around the world at a rapid pace, before freezing the bodies in time, and putting them back into her personal storage dimension, that way she could simply absorb them later on, without having to worry about it right now. She was consistently killing hundreds, if not thousands of grimm a minute at her pace, with grimm rapidly dying off.
Salem was probably panicking at the moment due to this, realizing that her armies were dying off at an incredible pace. Should Gwen's eyesight not be failing her, there should only be around 90-100 thousand left, with all of them being dead within a couple of hours, more than enough time to take care of Salem, Cinder, and potentially even the Brother Gods, should they be weaker than she thought.
Lifting her hand, she knocked on the door, waiting for someone to open it. The door slowly creaked open, revealing Cinder on the other side. The woman looked at her in slight confusion, wondering why Gwen was here.
"Can I help you?" Cinder asked, inwardly sweating as the one that her mistress warned her about, was standing in front of her.
Salem ended up warning her inner circle about Gwen, after watching her slaughter grimm like they were nothing, even killing the Alpha's with practiced ease. An ease that made the old queen of Grimm nervous, which was a scary prospect, knowing how "strong" Salem was.
Cinder had planned on killing Gwen during the invasion, when she was drained due to all of the fighting, but now that she was in front of her, she was a little concerned about what she could possibly want.
"Yes actually, may I come in?" Gwen asked, giving the woman a fake smile. She noticed Mercury and Emerald tensing in the background, ready to fight at a moment's notice.
"I don't think-" "Ah, I guess I didn't make it clear. I'm not asking you, I'm telling you, let me in" Gwen cut her off, staring the woman in the eyes, a smile on her face as Cinder paled slightly.
"Is there any need to be so-" "Alright, seeing as you won't listen to me, don't blame me for what is about to happen" Gwen cut Mercury off with a sigh, before blurring through the door. "Not a bad room you've got here! A bit underwhelming. I was expecting something more villainous! I mean, for a bunch of followers of Salem, I thought it'd be more...Grimm like. But, I guess you're basically her little dogs, so it's not surprising" Gwen said with a hum as she looked around the room.
Hearing her voice behind them, the three jumped around, pulling their weapons out instantly at the sight of her. Only to pale even more as she held a small device with a Black Queen piece.
"Huh, not a bad virus. Pretty impressive with how underwhelming the technology of this place is. I'm assuming the Doctor made this one?" Gwen said, not even caring that the three of them were ready to attack her.
"Who-" "I'm Gwen, duh. Now, how do you want to do this? We could either do this the easy way, where you give up and I can potentially get you put in jail, or we can do this the hard way, in which your head will fly. I don't mind either way" Gwen cut Cinder off once more.
"You-" "Won't be able to kill you? Honey, please, I could kill that Queen of yours with my eyes closed, my hands behind my back, and without moving. Do you really think you stand a chance?" Gwen cut her off again. She knew what they were going to say, before they even thought of saying it, that was how strong her future sight had become, especially after absorbing the time stone.
"So, what will it be? Death or imprisonment?" Gwen asked. Watching their facial reactions, and reading into their thoughts, Gwen sighed.
"Death it is, it's too bad. You could have done a lot of good for the world" Gwen sighed, before blurring. Within an instant the heads of Cinder and Mercury flew, a singular swipe of a knife sent them flying.
Emerald went wide eyed in horror as she slowly turned to the two of them, biting back a scream that was threatening to escape her throat.
"Don't worry Emerald, I ain't gonna kill you. Instead you'll be sent off to a prison that will be able to take care of you, and hopefully help you become a better person. You didn't have much of a choice after all" Gwen said with a smile before a portal formed under the girl, teleporting her off to Menagerie, alongside a note of explanation for Ghira, as well as a seal on that note that would protect him from the girls semblance.
Glancing at the bodies, she sighed and absorbed them, before walking out of the room, as if she never even entered in the first place.
'Time to get rid of the Wyvern, and then after that, will be Salem'
Turns out Salem was not a happy camper that her beloved servants had died, leaving only herself and Arthur left, all the rest were dead, which meant that she was all alone, besides the dwindling amount of grimm that were rapidly dying out.
So, Salem decided to do the only thing she could do.
She sent the Wyvern to Vale, in hopes of killing the current reincarnation of Ozma, and in hopes of causing as much damage as possible to humanity. What she did not account for, was Gwen's interference, and interference she did.
"Huh, you're definitely the strongest grimm I've seen, besides that Demigod that was in the core. But...you're still pretty underwhelming to be honest" Gwen said, as she stood on the head of the very dead wyvern. It took only one strike of her blade for it to die.
"Hmm, seems Atlas has gotten word of the Wyvern" Gwen muttered, looking off into the distance, seeing a small group of Atlas ships incoming, probably to see what happened to the Wyvern, now that they knew it was on its way to Vale.
Glancing back at the corpse of the large grimm, Gwen shrugged as she absorbed it into herself, sighing as a notification flared into her vision.
Grimm Absorption [XXII]
Details - Absorb All Grimm
Reward - 200 NL tickets
"Huh? I didn't even realize I killed off the other grimm...I guess I worked faster than I thought. Although, I guess having hundreds of clones spread around the world would naturally do that" Gwen muttered, as she converted all the tickets into TL ones. She didn't have a need for NL Characters, not anymore.
"Now I just need to save a certain Silver Eyed warrior, kill off Salem, Arthur, and the Gods, absorb the infinity stones, and then do the last challenge quest, which I think I'll just choose an easy one for that, so I can get it over with' Gwen hummed, before she heard the incoming ships flying in from above.
Gwen chuckled as they slowly lowered to the ground, having one thought on her mind. 'Time to face the music'
