Chapter 446: 446 Gwen Awakens, The Wrath of MJ, The Promise of a Wedding, Planning the Journey to the New World and The Love of Emma Frost.
Allen's room window had a good view. Below, people could be seen starting their lives. Someone was running, maybe rushing off to work, maybe late to get somewhere, or perhaps he stole someone's wallet; one never knows.
'I should go to another world...huh'
That thought accompanied Allen. However, before anything else, he needed to improve both the protection of his loved ones and the safety of the world. No more unexpected visitors from which he did not know. Whether they come from another universe or even from his own universe.
[Something to protect your world... but what? Although someone seems to have concealed this world, it doesn't prevent anyone who finds it from entering.]
Rick had mentioned it before, but it seems he is unable to locate Allen's world. However, this is unnatural, so someone is definitely preventing it. But this wasn't the case with Morlun. From what Allen could gather, he arrived in this world without knowing how. It might have been a complete coincidence. So, it is crucial to prevent more "coincidences" from happening or at least ensure that Allen knows when someone enters his world.
A shield for the world would be too expensive, but the system could set up some kind of detection network. One would detect if someone enters from the outside, and the other would protect the Earth from cosmic entities.
That was the priority. Allen could lose his mind and go hunt down the Inheritors, but unlike the Master Weaver, the system doesn't have an absolute view of all the universes to know where it's going. If there really are infinite universes, the chance of encountering an Inheritor is slim.
On the other hand, the so-called multiverse to Morlun was a series of variants of Allen's universe. So that raises the question: What about Harry Potter? What happens to The Boys? Kung-Fu Panda? Bleach? Why was Morlun so sure there was a Spider-Man in every universe? Allen could swear there's no Spider-Man in any of those worlds... So, does every world of anime, manga, video games, series, books, and movies have its own multiverse?
Allen pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a headache coming on. He had enough problems with a handful of worlds to think about multiverses.
'It's better to prioritize protecting this world... even if, for now, there's a bad vibe toward me haha.'
Makima – I'm glad it doesn't affect you too much, something like this...
Esdeath – Glad? Did Makima say she's glad about something?
Albedo – They say that maidens in love tend to become kinder...
Makima – Don't let your jealousy show
Albedo – HUH? WHAT DID YOU SAY, BITCH?!
Artoria – Don't start again.
Bocchi – Scary...
Harley – Rebecca, did something happen?
Rebecca – Ah... you were visiting your other half just now, yes, well, it's hard for me to believe it, but the sociopathic demon managed it...
Harley – Impossible.
Rebecca – Yes... that b*tch did it.
Makima – It's funny that you call me a b*tch or a wh*re when, Rebecca, you've done worse things, and the succubus virgin would die to be in my place.
Rebecca – Huh?! Do you want to fight?!
Albedo – Say that one more time, and I'll rip that tongue out!!
Wednesday – This place has gotten louder... it's like thorns in the ears. I'll consider it a fair price for the opportunity to return from that dark abyss, which, although comforting, the idea of eternal loneliness has lost much of its meaning for me...
Nokotan – ???
Bocchi – She says she missed Allen-san and considers it a small price to bear the constant arguments to stay by his side.
Nokotan – I see, Wed-chan is cute~
Wednesday – It's been a while since I've gone deer hunting. Maybe I should practice to regain my touch.
2B – Master, what kind of punishment are you thinking of giving her?
Makima – Maybe a bit of torture...
Esdeath – You can order me to do it. It's been a while since I've done it.
Wednesday – I don't mind the idea of being tortured, but I'd prefer it to be you, Allen...
Albedo – Stop right there! If anyone's going to be tortured by Allen-sama, it's me!!
Nokotan – Bocchi-chan, I don't feel comfortable or safe with this group...
Bocchi – That's right...
...
"No one's torturing anyone. As for Wednesday, she'll receive the treatment of the other two... of course, I'll consider that the two times she appeared were to help me..."
The girls remained silent after hearing the verdict. Before they could start arguing again, they were interrupted by the sounds of a girl waking up.
Allen looked behind him at the bed, where the two girls were. One was Gwen, sleeping like an angel. Although she hadn't woken up since yesterday, her peaceful smile was a sign that she was okay.
MJ, on the other hand, woke up with bags under her eyes and messy hair. She hadn't been able to sleep until late.
"Good morning..." Allen said to the girl who was clearly in a bad mood.
"Hi..." MJ forced a smile.
"Hm..." Gwen groaned annoyed, as if telling the person who spoke to be quiet.
Allen noticed that MJ was getting annoyed. She had spent the whole night blaming herself and worrying that she couldn't help Gwen at that moment, while Gwen, in contrast, was sleeping peacefully without worries.
"I think someone could use a bubble bath..."
Allen went to bed, picked MJ up, and carried her to the bathroom before she attacked Gwen.
"Let me down let me show this blondie what a bad time I had last night!"
...
The bathtub was filled with hot water. Both entered and MJ leaned on Allen, who was behind her.
"Haa~ I needed this~" MJ felt relaxed by the water, which eased her tense muscles. "This feels like magic... wait, is it magic?"
Having a boyfriend who, among many things, is a mage, leads to a lot of things beyond the ordinary happening. MJ, feeling the effect of the water, thought maybe Allen had done something strange to it.
"I'm not sure if it's magic. They're special salts to improve circulation, relieve fatigue, and take care of the skin. I thought you'd like it."
"I love you~"
MJ turned around and hugged him. Considering that she was naked, this caused a rise in temperature between them. Without hesitation, they kissed for quite some time as the heat flooded their bodies.
Allen was tempted by his girlfriend's seductive body, but noticing her tiredness he gave her a body massage to relax her body.
"Thank you, my dear❤️~"
...
Allen left the bathroom with MJ in his arms, only to find Gwen with her arms crossed, waiting.
"It hurts my heart to see you so worried about my condition..."
Upon hearing Gwen's sarcastic words, MJ asked Allen to put her down. MJ walked over to Gwen and, without saying a word, slapped her.
"...!" Gwen looked at MJ in disbelief. Of course, she was just joking, but her words came across to MJ as an insult.
"We were. Me, Allen, Felicia, Natasha, Diana, Annie, and everyone else sent us concerned messages!"
"I'm sorry..."
"...!" MJ gritted her teeth and was about to hit Gwen again, but Allen stopped her, wiping her tears with a smile.
"Let me have the rest MJ"
"Yes..."
Allen lifted Gwen's face, which had a downcast look.
"Aren't you going to scold me?"
"I think MJ did enough... don't blame her. She spent the whole night without sleep, worried, even though I assured her you were fine." Allen healed the red mark on Gwen's cheek from MJ's slap and smiled affectionately at the blonde girl with a dejected look. "Besides, scolding you wouldn't be fair since I was the one who gave you permission to deactivate the automatic activation of the pendant..."
Allen didn't mention the subsystem that Gwen once gave her. It worked when Gwen transformed, which wasn't efficient. Of course, it was never meant to be a weapon, but more of a pastime. Allen knew he needed to change that and prioritize a more efficient way to protect his loved ones.
Gwen took Allen's hand and rubbed it against her cheek.
"It's not your fault. I was the one who insisted on it." Gwen hugged Allen, shaking. "At that moment, more than worrying about myself, I thought about what I'd make you go through. I'm sorry..."
Allen smiled and carried her to the sofa in the living room to tell both of them everything he knew about Morlun.
MJ curled up next to Allen, shivering. "That guy could've killed us..."
Gwen clenched her fists in anger. "That bastard murderer!"
Hearing that there were many Spider-Men from different worlds who met a gruesome end at the hands of Morlun filled her with suffocating rage.
Allen stroked both of their heads. "Don't worry, none of them will ever appear in this world again..."
Gwen and MJ exchanged worried glances. They heard that Allen killed Morlun, but they couldn't imagine what he had done to the guy who almost killed his girlfriends.
"Good morning~" Felicia opened the door with a loud voice. "Where are the depressed redhead and the regretful blonde?"
Felicia might get along well with both of them, but she wouldn't hold back when teasing them.
Diana arrived a few minutes later to find Gwen and MJ arguing with Felicia, who was acting like a mischievous cat. However, Allen noticed that the mood of the two girls had greatly improved after Felicia's actions.
'Thanks, Feli'
'No need to thank me, Mr. Walker. You'll thank me later❤️~'
'Alright.'
Allen was preparing to travel to another world, but before that, he wanted to visit several girls who had patiently waited for him despite his constant absence. Starting with Emma Frost, who had openly expressed her feelings on several occasions, and despite living in New York, he hadn't seen much of her.
...
Allen woke up in the morning with Diana and Natasha in his arms. Both women usually kept calm in front of others, especially in front of the other girls, but they couldn't help worrying just as much, if not more, about Allen.
"Are you leaving?..."
Diana opened her eyes and looked at Allen tenderly. This strong and brave woman, who most of the time only showed this vulnerability to Allen, was now showing it in her eyes.
Allen pulled her closer and gave her a quick kiss, then looked at her for a moment before speaking.
"Yes, but not yet... I think... I should take on some responsibilities I've been avoiding..."
Diana's eyes widened as her body trembled. It didn't need to be said that she had been waiting for 300 years, although she had never pressured Allen. Some desires had been haunting her, even in her dreams; one was to marry officially, and the other was...
Allen wiped Diana's tears away. Sometimes he blamed himself for meeting Diana so far back in time. If it had been a normal meeting in modern times, she wouldn't have had to wait so long.
"First, I should talk to Hippolyta properly and decide to settle things."
"Haha, my mother won't be happy for several reasons, but you won't have trouble convincing her... she accepted your body and soul a long time ago."
Allen cleared his throat, " Diana, I swear that apart from some flirting and ambiguous moments nothing else happened between us..."
"Sure..." Diana blinked as her blue eyes sparkled with amusement. "I really don't care about the kind of relationship you have with my mother, just don't hurt her. Unlike me, she suffered more from men and couldn't bear to be hurt again."
"I'll keep that in mind, don't worry."
Allen carried Diana to the bathroom... to take a shower together.
...
Allen sent Emma a message to see if she was available, and of course, she was for Allen.
He saw the address, and it was a place in New York. Allen arrived at a huge building in the middle of New York, one that was truly massive.
Allen appeared in the middle of the crowd, unnoticed. He didn't stand out because he came in disguise, wearing large reflective glasses that didn't fit his usual style of dress.
It was supposed to hold the record for being the tallest building in the world. It even surpassed the Burj Khalifa in Dubai with its 828 meters (2716 feet). All of this was done in a record time of just half a year. Of course, Emma hired several mutants and superheroes to achieve this. Curiously, no one caused trouble once it was known who it was for. Allen hadn't taken Emma's message seriously at the time, but how wrong he was to underestimate the power of the world's richest woman.
Emma – "Darling, to show you that my intentions are sincere and my love true, I built you a building... among other things, it's still under construction, but when it's finished, I hope you can visit it."
"Emma...you" Allen could only sigh at the sight of the terrifying structure built by Emma Frost for him.
"Sir, do you need something?"
Allen had been staring at a statue at the entrance, which depicted him standing heroically on a cliff.
"Yes, I was wondering why they made it without a shirt..."
The guard smiled and puffed out his chest. "Miss Emma, our beloved president, commissioned this building as a tribute to her love. It was constructed as part of the eight monuments Miss Emma is building as an expression of love for Allen Walker."
The man spoke so passionately that he didn't notice one of Allen's eyes trembled for a moment.
Rebecca – "Hahaha, I knew that blonde was crazy, but building eight monuments?! Does she want to replace the seven wonders of the world?!"
"Every woman has her own way of expressing her love..." Allen said, making the guard nod in approval. "By the way, do you say that to everyone who looks at the statue?"
The guard staggered and then smiled with irony. "It's my job, sir..."
Allen thanked the guard and entered the building. This place was a mini-city, with office sections, a shopping mall, a hotel, a luxury restaurant, and much more.
A beautiful young lady approached Allen. "Can I help you?"
Allen showed the access card that Emma had given him, and the girl became pale for a moment, then quickly recovered her usual smile.
"Follow me this way..." she whispered, moving closer to Allen.
Albedo – Tsk, from here, I can smell the scent of a female!
Bocchi – Is that card something bad?
Wednesday – It must be a unique access card for Allen, and of course, she knows only Allen Walker could have it.
Allen arrived at an elevator away from the crowd. When it opened, a luxury cabin appeared with a golden ceiling and walls.
"Just this elevator must be worth more than my apartment..." Allen shook his head. His life wasn't bad, but to say he was rich was silly; compared to Emma Frost, even Tony Stark was poor.
Allen entered the elevator with the girl by his side. She seemed to want to grab his clothes as if trying to say something, but she didn't dare.
"Mr. Walker..."
Allen looked at the pretty girl who had dreamy eyes at the sight of him.
"Hm?"
...
Being in the world's tallest building was insane; it took a few minutes to reach the top floor.
When the elevator doors opened, the girl was panting, her shirt disheveled, her lipstick smeared, and she had a dazed look in her eyes while Allen held her against the wall.
"Is one kiss enough as an autograph?"
"Yes... thank you, I'll never forget it~" The girl collapsed onto the floor, and Allen stepped out of the elevator to find Emma watching him with a look of surprise.
"Well, she wanted an autograph, and I didn't have a pen, so I offered a kiss, and she accepted."
===
A/N: I don't want to leave out the previous waifus, so before the next world, Allen will visit the girls.
PS: Emma Frost does not beat around the bush 🍷🗿
