[3rd POV]
Stepping into the dimension, Gwen felt it. The power rolling through the place around her, the various species and creatures that inhabit the lands. The crimson skies that are full of malice and hate and death. The dimension that is widely known as Hell, a splinter realm that is similar to various other hellish planes, and is not the true hell, it just shares the name. It is but one portion of the actual hell, a realm that is but a part of the true Hell.
It was because of this that Gwen knew that Mephisto would be the best first target. As once she conquered his dimension and consumed him into her being, the other Hell Lords as they were dubbed, would be easy pickings. And if she did it right, she'd have Hell underneath her rule before Knull came along.
And that would give her a lot more power. Not enough to defeat Knull of course, but enough to make a large difference.
As she looked around Mephisto's lands, she could feel him in the far distance, his own gaze looking down upon her as she felt it. It was full of malice and anger, as she had been causing a lot of problems for other Dimensional Rulers with the amount of dimension she had been conquering, and the way she was rapidly becoming stronger and stronger.
But now she was here, in his dimension, and he knew exactly why she was here. Was it arrogant? Yes. Was it likely foolish? Absolutely. At least, that's what Mephisto thought.
He had no idea that Gwen had the absolutely overpowered ability known as Boost, and even now, she was using it.
She didn't boost just once, or twice, or three times. But a total of 8 times.
256. That was how much her power had been boosted thanks to those 8 boosts. And it was because of this that she was showing off just how ridiculous the power actually was. It was a power that would even give her a chance at battling it out with Knull, at least, she sure hoped so.
Either way, that didn't matter at the moment, as she focused on Mephisto, who teleported in front of her, as she stood in one of the bare plains of his territory.
It was basically just a huge expanse of rocky desert, albeit stained with corpses and bone.
Not exactly a pretty sight.
Staring at the crimson skinned demonic looking entity in front of her, Gwen could tell that he was strong, but not as strong as Galactus. More than that, he wasn't that much stronger than her. Meaning all it would take was a couple more boosts and she would be stronger.
And this was without even mentioning her various other abilities that would give her a leg up over the entity, as well as her literal thousands of forms of immortality that would stop him from doing much to her. As well as her various adaption based powers that would just let him grow to surpass the problems that he may give her.
All in all, she was very confident in defeating the entity in front of her, as he opened his mouth, and began to speak.
"So you are the woman who has been conquering dimension after dimension? Do you have any idea how irritating your little conquest has been for me? How much whining I have heard from the other Hell Lords and Dimensional Rulers? And you dare to step foot upon my lands? You truly believe that you can escape? What a foolish little woman you are" Mephisto said with a mocking laugh, finding her entire existence to be amusing.
Gwen just looked at him with a raised eyebrow "You sure talk a lot for someone who's going to die soon" Gwen said, as his mocking laugh was instantly quieted, a deep angry scowl forming as energy began to ripple out of him, shaking his dimension as Gwen just smiled.
*Boost* her power doubled further, her own aura crackling out into the surroundings as her energy poured from her. Mephisto let out a loud roar like sound, as in an instant, they clashed.
Space and reality shattered around them, as they clashed over and over, their blows shaking the dimension as they reappeared across the dimension. Moving at speeds faster than light, Gwen effortlessly blocked and dogged his blows, as her own strikes slammed into his being harder and harder.
With every blast of energy, every strike landed, and every clash of power, she grew, her power adapting to his own as she rapidly began to evolve. With every movement she began to overtake him, even within his own realm.
He was powerful, nigh-omnipotent at that, but when you boost your power by 512 times, enough to bridge that gap. When combined with the speed force, adaption based powers, evolution powers, and the thousands of other abilities. As well as her own dimension powers...
Well, it meant that he had not much of a chance against her, as he was launched back through a large mountain, shattering it effortlessly as he rocked through it, and landed on the other side.
His entire form was bleeding, his face wasn't healing, and he was struggling to even stand. Gwen had countless abilities to stop any form of healing, and that was beginning to truly show itself, as she reappeared over his crippled form.
"You were arrogant before, where did that all go? You sure as hell aren't arrogant now" Gwen stated, amusement in her tone as she looked down at the bleeding form of the entity. He was weakened, beaten. She was expecting more from him, but she understood now that while he had a living shit load of power, he was similar to Tzeench. All power, now real skill in using it. Better at manipulating and lying than actually fighting.
And that was now proven with how easily she destroyed him in battle.
"Y-You ignorant cunt" Mephisto grunted out, as Gwen just stared down at him with an unamused look, before her hand snapped out, and gripped his throat.
His eyes widened in horror as he felt it. The sensation of her pulling upon his very being, as she simply smiled down at him, as she absorbed his power for her own.
"Goodbye Mephisto. I will make sure to utilize your power, and your dimension well" Gwen stated simply, as she absorbed the man, with him letting out a final screech as his being was obliterated, and became one with her.
She felt his power flow through her. The immense power of a Hell Lord. The power that granted her complete control over his dimension, her new dimension.
[Mephisto]
[Details - Absorb Mephisto and become the ruler of his part of Hell]
[Reward - 5 SL Tickets]
It seemed that the quest she had just completed was special, if she had been given 5 SL tickets instead of SSL tickets. Probably because it was meant to be much more difficult than it actually was. Her power simply being too much for him to handle, as her boosts disappeared.
But she was still just as powerful thanks to absorbing Mephisto into herself.
With that said and done with, Gwen spread her senses across her dimension, pleased with it's size. She would eventually go after the rest of the Hell dimensions that she could reasonably conquer, but for now? For now it was time to return home.
And as she teleported off to return home, Gwen had one thought on her mind.
'...That went well'

____________________________________________
That's the end of the chapter!
Mephisto is officially gone and dead. The Boosted gears power proving to be quite overpowered in Gwen's hands. She is also now the ruler of his portion of hell.
I have decided that this fic will start going into overdrive, so it'll likely be ending within the next 30 chapters or so.
Anyways, have a good day!
