Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Several Weeks Later, New Characters, Beginning of the End
Huge thanks to Cyan the Legend, Wandering Tiger, Toasters for buying my Patreon! It really means a lot to me! anyways, onto the story!
[3rd POV] [?????????????]
Time had flown by after the talk with the League, a little more than 3 weeks in fact. During this time, quite a lot had happened.
For one, Gwen had assimilated the new knowledge and powers over night, and had gotten a good bit out of it.
Power Mans 107 absorbed people had proven to be an absolute godsend. The 107 people all had counted as souls, considering he had all their knowledge and experiences in his mind. Therefore...she got 107 peoples worth of aura, massively increasing her aura by several times. The new senses had been quite useful, as had the new semblances and fitzegeralds ability. His power had been quite the addition, and was something she had already begun to take advantage of.
Doing so was quite easy, after she created a money printer that would use recycled/used paper to create money. Not only that, but it was pretty much untrackable and seemilngy completely and utterly legit. The printer had already mass produced a lot of money for her, which she had stored away for the future.
She had continued to train her different abilities, and had continued to train M'gann, Artemis, and Raven. The training had picked up quite a bit, after she had introduced the super soldier serum to the team.
It had gotten...mixed reactions, due to it's potentially painful assimilation, but after some thinking, Artemis and Dick had taken it. It didn't change much in terms of appearance, besides making them grow a couple of inches, and making them a bit more toned and attractive.
But it was what didn't show that made a difference. They were now able to lift roughly 4-5 tons, had increased speed, durability, regeneration, etc. More so than even Captain America himself. Not only that, but she had made sure to imbue a bit of magic into the serum, protecting their blood from being used in cloning or trying to replicated the serum. She had wanted to make it even better, but it would require a lot more time, and it would put them out of commission for quite some time.
She had thought about giving it to Wally, but decided against it, as she wasn't sure what affect it would have on him, with his super speed and unique body. Kaldur, M'gann, and Superboy didn't need it, nor would it work for them.
She had thought about giving it to the League, but had decided to wait until after the Light was taken care of, and then introduce it to them. Just to be safe, of course.
She had decided to wait on aura for now, until after the Light. She didn't want to deal with them digging into the prospect of the power, and looking into souls. Thankfully, she estimated that the Light would be wiped out within a couple of days or so.
The new super soldier serum had done wonders for Artemis's martial arts training, and had improved her already rapid rate of improvement, even more. As it also improved their mental intelligence, making them even smarter than they already were.
Thanks to this, Artemis was officially the best martial artist in the team, besides Gwen. Not only that, but she was probably in the top 3 of the entire League, not including Gwen of course. The other girls had continued to grow their martial arts, but not nearly as fast as Artemis was.
During this time, Gwen had begun to thoroughly train and experiment with her Green Lantern ring. She found that her ring, while not even remotely as powerful as it's comic counterpart, was still incredibly powerful in her hands. Thanks to basically having infinite willpower to pull on, she could create just about any construct she wanted, that the ring itself could handle.
The largest construct she had manifested so far, was the size of a Large mountain, in which she had made on a uninhabited island she found. She knew she could take it further, but doing so would be hard, without drawing attention to herself.
She wanted to get some of the other rings, like the Yellow Lantern Ring, the Blue lantern ring, or the Star Sapphire ring. Either of the three would be good for her, especially the last one. As her love was...sort of infinite thanks to her knowledge, and just how far she'd go to make sure M'gann was safe.
Sadly she couldn't just summon the damn things, so she decided to just wait for them to come to her. As sooner or later, they would, especially considering she was the best possible fit for literally every lantern ring, thanks to having all the knowledge of her characters.
She also wanted to get another green lantern ring to absorb, but yet again, she couldn't exactly summont the damn thing. So, she decided on an eventual interstellar mission to find one, and maybe some other neat items of use.
Besides her continued training, she had also went on a few more solo missions. None of them were particularly difficult or anything, and most of them were rather easy.
She ended up getting a quest reward for this though.
[Hidden Quest Complete]
Justice League Missions
Details - Complete a total of 50 Justice League missions, be it solo or otherwise.
Reward - 5 UL Tickets
She ended up using the tickets right when she got them, not wanting to wait until later.
Besides Ermac who was easily the best of the bunch for Gwen, the Subzero's and Scorpions
were great as well. As the new addition from their powers, the new hellfire and cryomancy abilities, and the new regeneration from them was a welcome addition. All her fires were now strengthened to hellfire from Scorpion, making her fires quite a bit stronger than before.
The netherrealm sadly didn't exist in DC, but she was sure it would have been useful if it existed there. She got some improved regenerative factors were pretty good as well, as the extremis virus
wasn't insanely good or anything, but having knowledge of the MCU counterpart would be useful for the future, especially in regards to making Artemis stronger.
With her new powers, Gwen knew she was more than ready for the rest of the Light, Circe, and
most other foes she could run into during the remaining time.
She planned on leaving the current universe soon, preferably after she got with Artemis and
Raven. As she wasn't blind, and could very easily see the attraction the two had for her, easy as day. If the three accepted it, then they'd travel alongside her through the omniverse, to a new
universe. She had some ideas, but there was one that she wanted to go to more than most others, but that would wait for later.
For now though, Gwen was focused more on the present, which was the fact that they had a new member joining the team, and she had something important to do with the League. Standing on top of a large building that was bustling with reporters at the front of it, a press conference currently happening, discussing the new introduction of League members, Gwen breathed in deeply, knowing that the next two days or so would be...chaotic.
Gwen had one final thought as she swung down from the roof, to a shocked crowd.
'Let's hope these next two days go well...'

additional chapter early, as well as other bonuses (like more than 35 exclusive stories) on my patreon for three dollars a month! Or 30 dollars for an entire year! https://www.patreon.com/Fanfictions770?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator
(Or just look up Crazedmadman on Patreon and you should find me)
That's the end of the chapter!
I am going out of state for a week starting Sunday, so updates may get a bit irregular because
of that. Thankfully I can still write via my ipad, but still thought y'all should know. I ended up adding a bunch of fighting game characters to the wheel, after realizing they all
had some genuine use to her, and were mostly if not entirely SL characters (Even if it didn't
really make sense, like Raiden from MK, a literal god, being only SL). So be prepared to see more of them lol.
I added characters from: Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Like a Dragon, Killer Instinct, and a singular character from Tekken (most are too strong for now).
Most of this chapter was the new characters, but I made sure to make the stuff that isn't related to the characters, roughly 1100 words long, as I try to do in most chapters that has a lot
of new characters and their information in it.
Unique gamer will get updated tomorrow.
Next chapter is roughly 4300 words, with next to no UL info, so a lot more will be happening,
promise. And starting from now, all Characters detail sheets will be minimized/made smaller
(as small as I can make it, while still giving the necessary info).
Anyways, have a good day, see you tomorrow!
