[3rd POV]
After leaving back to her home, Gwen had spent her next few days finding, killing, and consuming over a hundred Kings in Black. Not a single one of them were as strong as Knull, most of them were not even close to him in power. But it didn't matter as it granted her far more dominance over the hive mind.
Enough that she was now more focused on the Yggdrasil part of her plan. As she had a total of 179 Kings in Black consumed and dead now. That power was her power now, and her symbiote All Black Necrosword had been boosted to an entirely new level of power.
It had already been monstrous before, but now it was even stronger. Capable of shattering universes with a single swing, cutting dimensions in half with a small amount of force, and the ability to kill even the likes of a Beyonder.
But now she needed more power in another way. And Yggdrasil would be that way.
Which is why she was currently tearing her way through dimensional walls, heading towards the literal location of Yggdrasil, or at least it's base. Where the Mimisbrunnr was located, this was Mimir's well, the location in which Odin had sacrificed one of his eyes.
And this was the place that Gwen was going to sacrifice both of those eyes, which would grant her new power, and even more incredible knowledge. Including that, it would grant her higher omniscience, and would give her the ability to control and manipulate fate.
Which was the main thing that would allow her to stop the future Ragnarök's from happening, and killing Those Who Sit Above in the Shadows. And once she kills and consumes them she'll gain a new burst of power that will give her a far higher chance of fighting back against the Beyonders.
It didn't take her long before she reached the base of Yggdrasil where the well was. And where she would be able to become something new, something even more incredible than she already is.
Standing within the base of the tree, Gwen glanced at the base of the tree of Yggdrasil, the tree that all 10 realms were connected to. While people largely believed there was 9 realms, there was actually 10. As the tenth dimension was "Heven" which had been cut from Yggdrasil by Odin during the war between Asgard and Heven.
It was a complicated affair that Gwen didn't really care much about to be frank.
Looking over to the well of Mimir, Gwen began to walk towards it. The Norns that would normally see her there couldn't, because she had used countless different abilities in tandem to cut them off so they couldn't even intrude while she was doing this next part.
Walking to the well of Mimir, Gwen looked down at it. Just by glancing at it she could tell it was not something simple, it was connected to something very very very ancient. Something very powerful at that.
Looking at it, Gwen couldn't see beyond the "Front" of it. It was protected and not something she could understand. Which meant whatever was blocking her gaze and understanding was beyond even her.
That only made what she was about to do next even more important.
As she walked to the well, Gwen breathed in deeply, and began to shut off all forms of immortality that she had, all forms of adaptation, all durability. Everything that could stop her from dying she shut off.
In the comics Thor had hung himself from Yggdrasil, using that to die and be reborn anew with the power of the Runes, understanding the understandable. He learned the end of all things, and was granted incredible wisdom and immensely powerful runic magic.
But that was by hanging himself. And Gwen...she had another idea, something that she was certain would give her even more power.
She was going to drown herself in the well itself. Dying in the waters of the very thing that would grant her new power. Power that would give her the means to kill and absorb Those Who Sit above in the Shadows, who would then give her the means to kill at least a single Beyonder, and that itself would cause a snowballing effect.
But first, she had to drown herself.
And as she walked towards the well, she stopped onto it's outer circular rim, and gazed down into the waters of the well.
"You sure you want to do that, little lady?" A voice echoed from beside her, as she turned. She couldn't see what it was, but she knew who it was that was speaking to her.
Mimir.
"Well of course. If I wasn't willing to do this much then I wouldn't be here in the first place. And we both know that I need this power to stop what is coming, or at least handle what it will bring about" Gwen responded to the entity who was functionally Omniscient, or very very close to it.
"...Well, I hope you understand what you are doing" Mimir spoke, before fading as Gwen smiled and looked down before breathing in deeply.
'Let's hope this works' Gwen thought, as she fell forwards, sinking into the waters of the Well of Mimir. The waters that flow from Yggdrasil, pain and agony echoed through her being, as Gwen felt it pulling upon her being, darkness beginning to overwhelm.
And that thing that was pulling upon her was...
Death
____________________________
Unlike Odin who had hung himself for 9 days to near death and sacrificed an eye. Or Thor who would have sacrificed both eyes and hung himself to death. Gwen had sacrificed...her entire being.
She sacrificed her entire physical being to the well, her body being atomized and shattered as the only thing remaining in the well was her very soul. Her symbiote had been kept outside so it wasn't destroyed.
Her soul was being tempered within the waters of Yggdrasil. She felt it, the change that she was undergoing. Even without having much sentience at that point. But it didn't matter, Gwen could feel something changing deep within her, as knowledge, great, incredible, insane knowledge flowed into her very being.
Her soul was being inscribed, a mark forming on it, a series of runes being etched into her very being. The power that she felt flowing began to rapidly increase, as her physical form began to rapidly return to form, but now it looked as if she was a collection of galaxies given form.
And as her physical form came back, so did her full sentience. And as that happened, she felt it. The knowledge of the past, present, and future. She hadn't just been granted the nigh-omniscience similar to Thor had.
She had been granted the Omniscience that Mimir had.
Her form catapulted out of the waters of the Well, as she landed on the grounds outside of Yggdrasil once more. Power ripping out of her figure as she began to warp her appearance to her normal form.
But her true form was different now, she could feel it.
[The Rune Queen]
[Details - Sacrifice something, anything to Yggdrasil and be granted immense power. In your case, that was your physical form, which has granted you power well beyond what even Rune King Thor had gotten. That, and the closest thing to true Omniscience that you can have without being TOAA, the Presence, or the creator]
[Reward - 200 CL Tickets]
[200 CL Tickets > 2 ML Tickets]
[2 ML Tickets consumed]
[ML Characters - Moro (DBS), Gogeta (DBS)]
The two characters she had gotten weren't that strong in Gwen's eyes, but she assimilated them either way as her symbiote covered her form again. Her connection to the Hive Mind had increased to an entirely new extent, and effectively granted her absolute control over it.
Not just in her universe, but in all universes now.
She had officially become the Queen in Black in ALL universes. The Multiversal Queen in Black.
Feeling the new power within her being, Gwen smiled, pleased. And as she teleported off to finish the last part of this portion of her plan, Gwen had only one thought on her mind.
'...Time to Kill Those who Sit Above in the Shadows!'
