[3rd POV]

The next morning, after a night of assimilation and rapid growth in power and knowledge, Gwen’s eyes began to flutter open, an entirely new level of power flashing through them as she let out a small sigh. 

‘That was…not entirely as annoying as I expected it to be. But my god is that a lot of knowledge’ Gwen thought, as she went through the tens of thousands of years of knowledge swirling about in her mind. Knowledge of magic unknown, of great secrets, of war, death, strife, love, and all sorts of other areas. 

She could feel her magic rise by the second, as “Sunshine” Escanor’s power, was constantly active, strengthening her by the second, until it was noon, when her power would reach it’s height, and then it would slowly decrease back to normal levels of power at night. 

There were various other abilities that she now had from this. From manipulating sound on a new level, control over light and darkness, to the magical abilities of the two deities of 7ds. Each and every one of the characters were helpful to her, and all of them had given her a great deal of power, knowledge, and new abilities. 

The NL characters had a few helpful ones, but none of them were at the same level as the TL ones. While the TL ones had the likes of Zeref, Escanor, Demon King, Supreme Deity, Asta, Natsu, Luffy, Reinhard, King and plenty of others. She now had abilities like the Demon Kings, which would invert all attacks sent at her, when this was active. Meaning attacks would heal her, attempting to take her energy would then give her the energy of the one who was trying to steal hers, and plenty of others. It also had the effect of the opposite, making it so healing would harm, stuff like that. An incredibly powerful ability for someone like her. 

Asta had his ability to counter magic, Luffy was…Luffy. Reinhard had his divine protections, which sadly Gwen wouldn’t be able to use his ability to make them willly nilly, as that power was connected to the very world of Re: Zero, so unless she went there in person, then she wouldn’t be able to use it. 

There were many many many many other useful powers, tons of noble phantasms of incredible potential for power (Gae bolg, Balmung, Caliburn, etc), and of course, the biggest thing of note, the Bleach characters, and their ability that could potentially allow her to manifest and use her own Zanpakuto, an immensely powerful ability, considering her soul was constantly growing more powerful with each new character. 

The amount of spiritual energy she had, was at an entirely different level compared to just about any character in Bleach, entirely because her soul was the combinations of thousands of other souls in one. Making her soul (and spiritual power) constantly at an uptake, similar to her Aura. 

With all the new power and knowledge held within her, Gwen was confident in fighting off the Gods, should they appear. Afterall, she had several weapons that were entirely based around fighting and killing gods, ones much stronger than the likes of the God of Darkness and the God of Light. 

She even had her own Sharingan’s now, thanks to Danzo, albeit, they were seemingly only at 3 tomoe’s at the moment, sadly. Seems she’d have to get Shisui himself to get his mangekyo sharingan and the abilities that came with it. And thanks to her getting both Atalanta’s and a few other characters, she was constantly evolving at an even faster rate than before, growing more and more powerful over time, with her “weaknesses” becoming less and less prevalent by the day. 

With her assimilation out of the way, Gwen got up out of bed, and yawned as she walked out to the living room of the large hotel room they had gotten, finding the girls all waiting there for her. 

“Took you long enough, you alright? You’ve been sleeping for longer than usual” Korra asked, causing Gwen to nod.

“Mmhmm. Seems my ability did its…thing again” Gwen said, causing them all to nod in understanding, as it dawned on them why she was asleep for so long. Korra had found out about her whole power thing, after they had gotten together, so she wasn’t too shocked, as Gwen was always…pretty damn weird. 

“So, what’s the plan for today?” Artemis asked, causing Gwen to grin. 

“Well, I’ve already taken care of the false identity and enrolling in Beacon, so that’s already out of the way. We’ll be enrolling within the next couple of days, so until then…pretty much whatever you guys wnat, really. We can go get some food or train or whatever else, it’s up to you” Gwen replied, shrugging. 

“Can you awaken my aura later? I wanna learn how to use it before we go to this “Beacon”, that, and I don’t wanna be left out anymore” Korra asked, causing Gwen to nod. 

“Sure, it’ll be easy. And I imagine you’ll have a shit load of it thanks to Raava and the previous incarnations” Gwen said, knowing that Korra would have the most aura of the group, besides herself and Raven, and even then, she was only barley behind Raven. 

“Language” Raven said, causing M’gann to giggle and Gwen to pout. 

“Yeah yeah” Gwen replied with a huff. 

“Can we expect any more “friends” in this universe?” Artemis asked, causing Gwen to stop. 

“Uh…probably not? Not really sure, as I don’t really choose that sort of thing Artemis, it just happens” Gwen replied, shrugging as she really had no idea if she’d get anymore girlfriends in this universe or not. She still needed to show them all the love they deserved, considering how awful she was in the last world. 

“Oh, speaking of friends, I should probably let Teekl and Hati out” Gwen muttered, before a crimson glow filled the room, as Teekl and Hati in his smaller puppy like form, formed in front of her. 

“Bout damn time, Gwen. I was wondering if you were ever going to let us out” Hati said with a huff, which was quite amusing, considering he looked like a puppy at the moment. 

Teekl on the otherhand, just let out a small meow and hopped up onto Gwen’s lap, purring as her master began to pet behind her ear. 

“That’s my bad. But, you two will be out as much as you want in this world, as I could care less if anyone found out about you guys and your…backgrounds” Gwen said, causing Hati to let out a “Hmph”

“Good, now…can I get scratches too?” Hati asked, causing Gwen to let out a small laugh as the puppy got onto the couch next to her, his tail wagging as she scratched behind his ear with her other hand. 

“For Lords of Chaos, they aren’t really all that scary, are they?” Korra said, chuckling at the cute sight of the animals enjoying their masters scratches. 

“Mmmhmm. They might be lords of chaos, but even they can’t resist Gwen’s headpats, they’re pretty addicting” M’gann said with a giggle, remembering the headpats Gwen gave, which were weirdly really good feeling. 

“I didn’t realize you liked my headpats so much” Gwen said, causing M’gann to nod. 

“They’re really good feeling, comforting too” M’gann replied, causing Gwen to hum. 

“Guess you’ll be getting more headpats in the future then” Gwen muttered, inwardly wondering if this was because of her various anime characters, some of which were weirdly good at headpatting, perhaps due to anime tropes and all that. 

“How many grimm are there? I was going to ask last night, but I forgot” Korra asked, causing Gwen to shrug. 

“Infinite for as long as the grimm pools exist. And if you’re wondering what those are, they’re basically these weird goop looking pools that produce the grimm” Gwen said, while inwardly she was thinking of absorbing these pools, afterall, it was basically free power, and she had the ability to absorb others, courtesy of Alex Mercer and many more. 

“...Wow, okay then. Could we get my aura unlocked now? I’d rather get ready as soon as possible, if we’ve got to deal with an infinite army of these grimm in the future” Korra asked, causing Gwen to nod, before responding. 

“Of course, now, let’s get this aura unlocked for you”

____________________________________________________________________________________

That’s the end of the chapter!

Basically just a talking chapter with Haiti and Teekl finally returning to the fic, for a while at least. 

So…who should the final love interest (s) be? Originally I was going to do Amity and Luz from Owl House, but now idk. 

So here’s the options:

Amity and Luz (Owl House)

Ruby Rose (RWBY) 

Or maybe give me some other ideas. No matter what, I am not going past 5, except for both Amity and Luz. And before you ask, the two are going to be aged up, should they be in the harem. 

Or, should I make them her cute little sisters that she teases constantly and plays matchmaker with, putting the two together? 

Tell me what you think on that!

Anyways, have a good day!
