Chapter 56: Gwen Duplication! Gwen Number Two! Join The War! (1)
---
"The Yin-Yang power of the Tiger Talisman?"
After hearing about this ability, Gwen didn't understand the literal meaning.
Yin and Yang force? What is it?
Seeing Gwen's confusion, Lorien adopted a teaching tone.
"The force of Yin and Yang refers to two parts of a whole," he began. "It's like some people who look cold on the outside but have a fiery heart inside. But the power of Yin and Yang doesn't mean two extremes. It's not that one has to be good and the other bad. It's two directions of a whole."
Gwen thought for a while after hearing this. She was pondering what her two directions might be.
After thinking for a long time, Gwen only thought of herself as outgoing. So, was her other self an introvert?
"Let's try it!" she said, closing her eyes and trying to use the Tiger Talisman's ability.
With a whoosh, a projection similar to Gwen separated from her body. Another "Gwen" appeared next to the original Gwen and gradually transformed into a solid entity!
Both wore the same clothes, and what one Gwen looked like, the other did too. Even the details were exactly the same!
Except...
The demeanor was different.
Yes, after "Gwen" became an entity, she looked at her body, then at Lorien. She blushed, turned her head to one side, and didn't dare look at Lorien at all.
Ah, this...
Lorien suddenly realized. This "Gwen's" character was likely the reverse of the original Gwen's. The original was lively and outgoing, while this one was shy and introverted. But from the look in her eyes, it was clear that she also liked Lorien. Both of them liked Lorien. This was constant. Only the personality had changed. And at first glance, this "Gwen" was a bit like Hinata Hyuga from Naruto!
"Wow~" Gwen herself exclaimed. She walked up to this "Gwen" and took a good look, then rubbed her fingers against her stomach.
"Skin is the same!"
"What are you doing..."
The "Gwen" duplicate shyly pushed Gwen's fingers away and said in a low voice, "Don't touch me directly."
Gwen was taken aback, then pointed at the "Gwen" and said to Lorien, "She's not like me! How can she be so shy?"
Lorien nodded and explained. "You don't have a bad heart. So the opposite direction you change is the inner character. Unless you consider creating someone who is 'worse' than you in the future."
Gwen thought about it and was genuinely intrigued. "Then I'll try next time."
She walked over to Lorien, wrapped her arm around his, and said, "Let's drink beer! Last time we promised to drink beer!"
"You!"
This Gwen had just finished speaking when the other "Gwen" objected. She blushed when she saw Gwen hugging Lorien, immediately trotted over, and hugged Lorien's other arm. Then she buried her face in his shoulder and whispered, "I also want..."
The contrasting performance of the "Gwen" made Lorien's heart melt.
After interacting with the lively Gwen, Lorien thought this was the best Spider-Woman in the Marvel universe. But who knew... This "Gwen" wasn't bad either!
"Hey!" the original Gwen protested. She looked at "Gwen" and said, "Could you speak louder? Just say what you want to do, can't you?"
"Gwen" in Lorien's arms mumbled loudly, "I want to drink too~!"
Well, compared to the previous sentence, it was pretty loud. Although not half as loud as Gwen had spoken just now.
Gwen looked at her other self, so shy, and immediately lost her temper. She especially wanted to tease her own duplicate!
But Lorien smiled, pulled the two of them into the wine room, and said, "Choose what you want to drink."
Gwen looked at the bottles of wine on the wine rack, let go of Lorien's arm, and started to pick. "Gwen" did the same, letting go to choose. The two moved together in front of the wine rack, squatting down to see which wine might be suitable.
Lorien, behind them, looked at their backs and nodded. Good. Very good! These twelve talismans are really amazing!
Lorien crossed his arms and touched his chin. Is it possible? Can I draw out the duplicates in the future?. No, normal duplicates are fine too! But if I can draw out the technique of seduction that Naruto used... I'll guarantee three sticks of incense to the system. No, thirty-three sticks of incense will do!
Lorien went to prepare snacks and desserts, turning on the TV to play a program. After a while, Gwen and "Gwen" came over with a bottle of wine each.
Lorien was taken aback. "You... can finish your drink?"
Gwen pouted and looked at "Gwen" beside her. "She insists on drinking something with a strong fragrance! I want to drink something refreshing!"
Duplicate Gwen, not to be outdone, held her wine tightly and muttered, "This should be delicious..."
Lorien:?
No. Then why do both of you choose the one with the higher alcohol content? Wouldn't it be better to drink something lighter?
Lorien stepped forward, took two bottles of wine, and examined them. Alright. No one can drink this without getting drunk after a normal person.
"Okay, fine," Lorien said, getting a bottle opener and opening both bottles. "It's a good time to practice your drinking capacity. Don't overdo it when you celebrate in the future."
He brought three glasses and poured Gwen's wine for Gwen and "Gwen's" wine for "Gwen." For his own wine... Lorien thought about it and decided to pour both wines together!
Can't I handle it? With my Superman body, what am I afraid of?
As expected, when Lorien poured the wine like this, both Gwens just pouted but had no complaints!
Smart move. After pouring the wine, all three picked up their glasses and drank.
"Cheers~!" x3
They clinked glasses and took a big gulp.
"Ha~~~"
"Hoo~~~"
As expected, the two Gwens stuck out their small tongues after drinking. "Slightly spicy~"
Lorien smiled without saying a word. Two little lightweights~
News was playing on the TV at that moment.
[The United Nations proposes to issue the "SOKOVIA Agreement" to restrict the powerful rights of Avengers!]
[Captain America expressed strong dissatisfaction and rejection!]
[However, Mr. Iron Man Tony Stark did not issue any comments on this.]
[This agreement will be decided by multi-country voting at the United Nations Vienna International Center. Once the agreement is passed, Avengers must be checked and balanced, otherwise, it will be a declaration of war with the United Nations.]
After Gwen heard the TV news, she leaned back with her astonishingly curved little willow waist and watched the TV. Then she turned back and shook her head at Lorien.
"Lorien, it's better to be a free superhero. Avengers are still under control, so don't they have to report in advance for everything they do? And then write a summary afterward? No freedom at all."
After speaking, Gwen spread her hands and shook her head, expressing great disapproval of this.
Gwen and Peter Parker from other universes are different. Peter Parker is heroic. He genuinely wants to be a superhero and join the Avengers.
But Gwen is different. Gwen just values her freedom. She also fights criminals and lends a helping hand. But she doesn't have those superhero heart plots.
To this, her duplicate "Gwen" blushed and nodded in agreement.
