[3rd POV]
During Gwen's assimilation of her new characters, and the divinity that came with a majority of them. Various realms around the universe were currently in...chaos. The skies and grounds were rumbling, as various entities that ruled over them felt it.
The change.
The new power that began to develop in the very concepts of the universe, the ones that makeup everything, and are essential to everything. Concepts like Life, Death, Destruction, concepts that many Gods are inherently connected to. And it was those Gods that turned their gazes towards the one that was beginning to rapidly accrue power in their domains.
Within the lands of Olympus, upon the thrones of the major Gods of Greek Mythology, several of the Gods felt it. The warp, the change, none more so than Dionysus, who frowned deeply.
"...Someone is gaining power in my domains, and rapidly" Dionysus spoke, as the others in the large room felt it too. The rapid uptake in divine power, all radiating from one specific person.
"It's not just your domain, but many different ones. I cannot tell all of them apart, but it would seem that this...being is gaining power in your domains, as well as Hera's" Athena spoke, as she glanced up at Hera, who had an enraged expression on her beautiful face, upon feeling the power of the being.
"Who dares do such a thing?! How can they do this so quickly?!" Hera snarled in agitation, wanting nothing more than to find and kill the worm that dared claim power in her domains. It was bad enough that she had to share it with those in the other pantheons, but now some upstart from the area was also gaining power in it?
It could not be allowed.
"It isn't just our pantheon, mother. It seems it is affecting many of the others, including our Roman counterparts. I can feel it, even now. Whatever this being is, it's affecting all of us" Hephaestus said with a frown on his face, as he felt his counterpart, Vulcan, and the influence this new entity is having on him.
"We must find this bug that dares to intrude upon our domains!" Zeus bellowed in rage, as he felt his counterpart Jupiter, and his rage as well. The power that this being was exuding only continued to rapidly increase, as they felt it more and more as time passed.
And it was not just the Greek Gods and their Roman counterparts.

Within the lands of Asgard, a one eyed man sat with a frown upon his aged face.
He could feel it just as much as the Greek could. The introduction of a new power within the Divine tapestry. He couldn't see where this individual was, only that it was near Midgard, likely one of the planets near it. He could also tell that this being was powerful, immensely so. And they had an enormous pull within the domains they were gaining power in.
Enough that it concerned him.
It didn't help that some of the domains seemed to be related to his people. More specifically, his son, Thor, as well as a handful others. He could feel that Lightning and Thunder called to this new unknown individual, and he did not like it.
His son wouldn't notice it, for he was too young. But he did, and the fact that he could even sense all of this, meant that this was more than just a mere small time God being a fool. This was something more, something...dangerous.
"My King, what do you wish for me to do?" His ever loyal friend, Heimdall, asked. He had been one of the only others that could see just as good as Odin could, and it was because of this that Odin trusted Heimdall more than just about anyone else in all the realms.
"...I wish for you to locate this...individual. Either where they are, or their general location. Once you have, we will send an envoy to bring them here, for there is much they need to answer for" Odin said, knowing that he would not be the only person sending others to find them. This was likely to anger the Gods of the Greek pantheon, Roman Pantheon, and likely a few of the others.
He did not know who would find them first, but he hoped that it would be him and his people. For he was amongst the kinder gods, and he doubted that this person would live long, should Zeus find them first.
"As you wish, my King" Heimdall said with a bow, before walking off to begin to search for the one that was causing so much chaos within all the pantheons.
As he watched his trusted eyes walk off, Odin wondered what this meant for the future of Asgard, and what it meant for his son, who would no doubt soon learn of the unknown individual that was gaining power in one of his domains.
And as he watched Heimdall leave, Odin leaned back on his golden throne. As the burden of being King felt heavier than ever before.

Back with Gwen, after she had told the gazes to fuck off, she activated the magical wards around the city to a higher power than before, pulling on the power of the Eye of Harmony, and the aid of the M'kraan crystal deep below the city, blocking the gazes of those that wished to look down upon her and her city.
"Damn Gods and their incessant need to always know every little thing" Gwen grumbled, annoyed with the fact that the Gods had attempted to look into her city. They thankfully had failed, as she had wards powerful enough to block the sight of beings like them, up. But they could likely sense the general area of where she was.
Which was a problem.
"Looks like I'll need to start looking into God slaying weaponry, and anti-divinity based wards" Gwen muttered to herself, understanding that she would need such things for the battles that would undoubtedly come sooner or later.
She now had the knowledge and powers of another blacksmith God, and several other Gods that specialized in areas that could aid her. Meaning she should be able to whip something up, but it would take time, a lot of power, and a lot of very rare materials, a lot of which she likely didn't have on hand.
But she was confident that she could get something to work.
At the very least, she would upgrade the orbital cannons with anti-divine weapons, so that the earth shattering blasts could kill a God too. She would need it, as she knew that at the very least, the Norse and Greek Pantheons would come to find her, with Odin and Zeus being...well, they were out of her league at the moment.
Unless she used boost and divide of course. If she used those powers...well, she doubted they'd be able to fight her, especially if she went all out. But she'd rather not cause a fight that can destroy the Galaxy, especially not with her people living in said galaxy.
"At the very least I'll get to meet Thor. I know he's a pretty chill man, for a God. His father isn't that bad in the movies, but who knows how he is in this universe, especially if...they exist" Gwen muttered to herself, remembering the ones who truly presided over the Norse Gods.
Beings well above her power. The ones that control and cause the end of the Norse pantheon over and over, the cause of Ragnarok. Beings so strong that she didn't dare even utter their title, as she didn't wish to find out if they could find her, not yet. As if they did find her...well, it would take Jean going White Phoenix of the Crown in order to stop them.
So...well above her, very very very much so.
'Let's not focus on that, for now. Instead, it's time to make some upgrades to the defenses of the city, and to begin the recruitment of the Eternals and Inhumans. It's also time I start to get more active on Earth, as it has been...way too silent down there, meaning, something is likely to go down soon, the only problem is...what?'
What Gwen did not know at that moment, was that something was beginning to occur.
But not on Earth, far far away, in a distant Galaxy, a being was moving slowly but surely towards Earth, one thought on his mind, and that duty was...
To Eat
For...
GALACTUS WAS COMING

That's the end of the chapter!
So...here's the next arcs big threat, and one that will ACTUALLY challenge Gwen. For Galactus at his peak is well above her, and he is not someone she can just overwhelm with knowledge, he is simply that powerful, and is equally as important.
It'll also be the beginning of her meeting important people, and getting more involved with the happenings of Earth.
Anyways, have a good day!
