Female Venom instantly latched onto another sorcerer, stopping in her tracks and tilting her head back with a cold laugh. Using this guy's body to devour the others—Gwen probably wouldn't mind.
Her feast time had arrived!
"Hey, why are you just standing there? Lord Kaecilius is watching us from behind!" the male sorcerer shouted at his companion, who had suddenly halted and wasn't continuing the chase.
They were so close to catching the target—if he just activated his magic, they could seize her. Yet his teammate remained rooted in place.
"What do you think... you taste like?" the possessed sorcerer asked.
He showed no signs of being abnormal—none of the others noticed he had been taken over by a cosmic symbiote.
Just as the confused sorcerer was about to respond, a black mass emerged from his companion's shoulder and swallowed him whole.
Meanwhile, Gwen swung to the other side using her webs. Kaecilius had already cast a protective barrier around himself—getting close to him wouldn't be easy.
She was trying to think up a strategy, a way to take him down. Gwen didn't understand any of this bizarre magic stuff.
But one thing she _did_ know—if Kaecilius managed to trap her in this Mirror Dimension, she might never get out. After all, she had no knowledge of sorcery at all!
Kaecilius frowned as he looked at his disciple, who now acted as if possessed by some demon. Why else would he attack his own comrades with gaping jaws? And that Spider-Woman had vanished entirely.
Female Venom turned and prepared to rush toward Kaecilius. If she could swallow _him_, Gwen could escape from this strange dimension!
"Gwen!" Alan descended into the Mirror Dimension like a god from the heavens. The moment he arrived, he spotted the possessed sorcerer.
But Gwen was nowhere to be seen, and Alan immediately panicked. Why was Female Venom attached to one of Kaecilius's disciples? Where had Gwen gone?
Inside the Mirror Dimension, everything was an illusion—but still real in its own way. It was connected to the outside world, yet wouldn't disturb it.
People on the outside had no idea that the world Gwen and the others were in was undergoing a cataclysmic shift.
Though inside, buildings twisted like braided ropes, tiles endlessly extended or sank inward, none of it affected the outside.
The closer Gwen tried to get to Kaecilius, the farther away he seemed to drift.
"Crap… did he figure out my intention?" Gwen realized just how difficult it was to get close to someone here.
Everything twisted and spun, transforming into bizarre shapes. Would she need to pretend to be captured just to get near him?
That was when she saw the figure in golden armor.
"Emperor!" Gwen hadn't expected him to show up so quickly. He had already discovered her location!
Female Venom passed through layers of warped space and returned to Gwen's body. She still preferred staying inside Gwen.
On the other side, as Kaecilius noticed from the corner of his eye that Emperor had entered the Mirror Dimension, he immediately made a decision: he would trap _all_ of them in here.
He raised his hands and began drawing in the air, chanting dark incantations he had learned.
Kaecilius realized that if Emperor could enter the Mirror Dimension so easily, it meant he could also leave just as freely. Kaecilius decided to use a new spell—to _bind_ him here forever.
