“If I didn’t know better, I would’ve said you were cheating. Fair game though…”

The… thing sitting in front of her threw their cards on the table, revealing a by-now useless pair of aces that somehow managed to lose against Aleksi’s completely ridiculous choice of going to war on an unsuited seven-two and somehow getting paid off ludicrously well by a choice set of cards coming down. The lizardess was smiling like an idiot, knowing full well just how big a bullet she had dodged and how ridiculous her victory had been, before raking in the chips and blowing a playful raspberry towards the other player. She’d never expected to be seated next to a literal deity, but then again she never expected the ritual to actually work; yet there they were, after tea, enjoying a good game of cards over some deliciously baked pastries, all while Aleksi tried to figure out just what creature that thing was sitting in front of her. It was hard to pin down, not because of how alien it was, but mostly thanks to it never quite settling for one form for longer than a couple of seconds, and even then they were constantly shifting and changing, leaving the lizard with a mounting headache that annoyingly refused to settle and be done with things.

“So, what’ll it be?” it asked of her, extending what might be a hand and waving it around, “Unlimited wealth? Fame? Perhaps the knowledge to predict the future to an exact degree so you can repeat this stunt properly once you’re downstairs?”

“No,” Aleksi replied, crossing her arms and giving the creature the biggest shit-eating grin she could muster, “I want five minutes with your power.”

The deity’s glow faltered and its form shifted, perhaps something resembling a flinch, as much as something like it could even be surprised. It moved in a way that seemed to suggest it was pondering the request, attempting to find a loophole in their offer to give them “whatever they desired” before being thoroughly humiliated by random chance. It clearly didn’t want to give the lizard her just dues, but seeing as it was stuck with its own promise, it eventually let loose a sound that remotely resembled wind blowing underneath a bridge during a thunderstorm before its glowing backlight reappeared.

“I cannot say I enjoy this, but… five minutes, and naught more. You will then return what I have given you.”

Aleksi nodded, fully intending to break her word the first opportunity she had. After all, she hadn’t said anything, and if there was anything she had learned reading all those volumes on dealing with spirits and other higher creatures, it was that words had meaning; a simple motion of the head, comparatively, did absolutely nothing to seal a promise, hence why, when she felt the sudden surge of power enter from within the thing on the other side of the table, her only reaction was to laugh. Laugh and cackle maniacally, feeling like some kind of movie supervillain that had just been empowered by their own insane technology, even if her actual body didn’t change much from the scrawny little thing that it always had been. But she was better now, capable of enacting her will upon reality, and if she was going to do anything at all, the first order of business was giving herself a physical form that would leave everyone she met going forward unable to pick their jaws up from the floor.

First was her height. Being just under five foot tall just didn’t cut it for the sort of figure she was thinking of for herself, so that much had to change: a proper five, then six, eight, ten? Fifteen? Yes, definitely twenty feet, that was a good number; a good two-oh so that she could tower over even the biggest of hypers, being able to bend down and still need to stretch her hand out in order to pat them on the top of the head, and she hadn’t even started on all the padding! Perhaps the best part was knowing that the size difference between herself and anyone else was already going to be so absurd that even if she weren’t planning on going nuts with her figure, any “curvaceous” aesthetic would still be so big in comparison to all the tiny ones that’d be around her that she’d be able to smother anyone without even trying… and she was going to try.

First her butt and thighs, fattening them up until her cheeks were rising like dough and her hips were flaring out like something crazy, more than capable of ripping through her clothes if she hadn’t already turned them into tiny bits of shredded cloth with her first height adjustment. But… she was a goddess, so why not have both? A snap of the fingers later and she was dressed in her usual attire again, merely upscaled, just so she could experience the wonderful sight of having her ass muffin-top and then overflow from the top of her jeans, her soft skin bulging out from the many gashes her thighs opened on the denim, until, with a final magnificently loud set of rips, the whole thing just exploded into tiny bit again, leaving her with a perfect, heart-shaped lower half that just begged for anyone stupid enough to come touch it, just so it could promptly sit on them and smother them with pounds upon pounds of perfectly-shaped ass. It was good enough that even Aleksi couldn’t help herself, giving her butt a good slap just to watch as it wobbled and jiggled like gelatin, all while her hands sunk their fingers into a pair of thighs that were impossibly soft that the giantess had to bite her lip once she got to experience them herself. If anyone were brave enough to lay their head on them, they would probably never leave, and yet the one thing on her mind was finding someone who’d be willing to wrap their arms around them in order to make good use of the leverage, a thought that left the inner part of those meaty legs quite a bit wet already.

Now that her lower half was complete, she could divert her attention to her bust and finally fulfill some of those visual fantasies that had taken up a significant amount of both her alone time and hard drive space, bringing to reality that which she once only believed possible in dreams. Honestly, it was quite easy, and even simpler than what she did with her ass and thighs: just place her hands on her hips, look down, and observe as that shirt she was wearing rode up and up her torso, exposing more and more of her chest until it was no longer revealing soft scales, but even softer underboob, until it halted its upward advance after getting stuck on two engorged numbers, until it was being stretched out by a pair of tits big enough that she could push a whole hand into them and have the soft flesh bulge out from between her fingers if she squeezed hard enough. It was nothing short of delightful to see even that upsized piece of clothing be torn so much out of shape, even more so when she decided to just use a claw to tear it open and then rip the two resulting halves from herself by force. The impact of her weighty breasts on her chest was nothing if not divine, and if not for her knowing she had to contain herself or else lose control completely, she would’ve allowed those things to keep growing until they actually became a problem. As it stood though, having them cover pretty much her entire chest and still jut out a good foot or so from either side of it was good enough, especially given that her height and general proportions ensured that each tit was almost as big as an average person was tall; being a giantess did have its perks after all.

Now that her transformation was complete, there came the worst part, the more complicated one, the bit where all of her abilities would be put to the ultimate test: refusing to hand power back to the creature that gave it to her in the first place. Five minutes was such a short time, and even her little detour into improving herself had taken a few seconds more than that, already leaving the former divinity, now permanently stuck in the shape of a small, unassuming feline, jittery and nervous about the possibility of the lizardess doing something stupid, like extending the five to a ten. Little did it (he?) know that, far from merely wanting an extension, that colossal lizard standing next to him was gunning straight for the whole thing to be made permanent, something she fully intended to make obvious the moment she turned around; after all, at her height, and her power, what would the tiny cat see but a twenty-foot-tall amazonian giantess with tits bigger than they were and hips so massive they wouldn’t fit in any door? What would he see if not the figure of perfection, the heart-shaped pillowy thighs on full display beckoning them closer, so they may lose themselves on them for all eternity? Aleksi was a goddess after all, even if the former deity tried to convince itself that it was only temporary, and this alone was enough to awaken a great number of primal instincts that the creature just barely managed to suppress, fueled by its own fear and dread of losing a status that no longer belonged to them.

“R-return that which I have given you!” the former god cried out, their voice no longer possessed the same imposing tone or odd reverb that it once had, “As per our agreement, your five minutes are up! Retur-mmph!”

The poor thing couldn’t even finish their shaky-voiced demand before Aleksi made full use of her new body to shut that bratty little thing up, unceremoniously dropping her tits right on top of their body and completely smothering it in her warm marshmallow embrace. It was actually a lot better than she anticipated; the lizardess had expected the simple act itself to be enough to drive her into a bit of an arousal frenzy, but never in a million years could the goddess have expected being able to just cover someone with her bust to feel so… right. It was more than good or powerful, it felt like something that she had a right to do, that she and she alone could unilaterally decide would happen, and thus it would have to happen.

“Don’t worry, my little pet,” she crooned, almost certain that her newest acquisition couldn’t actually hear her, “we’ll be going for a bit of a walk, I need to show you off to all of my newest subjects!”

And, just like that, the two were back outside Aleksi’s apartment block. It was so jarring that even the goddess, the very one who ordained for it to happen, felt slightly confused for a few moments before getting her bearings back, and even then had to shake her head a few times just to make sure that she hadn’t experienced a particularly vivid lucid dream only to wake up after a bout of sleepwalking. But no, she was exactly where she wanted to be: right outside her house, standing up in the middle of the sidewalk and conveniently dressed up to avoid any calls of public indecency… though given that she was wearing nothing but short shorts and a very revealing t-shirt that almost felt like less than nothing when it came to how prominent her bulging nips were, it was still up in the air whether or not going fully nude would’ve been a better option. What mattered was that it was real, and more than that, her little pet, the tiny kitten who had once been a god, was still safely within the confines of her cleavage, only its head poking out as their eyes darted from side to side, frantically trying to find out just where in blazes that thief had brought it. They still clearly wanted to demand their power back, but given they were literally stuck in between two tits bigger than their whole body and under the control of a twenty-foot giantess that had already caused a couple of car crashes due to surprised drivers, there wasn’t a lot that it could really do… nor was there a lot that Aleksi herself wanted to do besides showing off some more.

There used to be a time when she bothered herself with how many individual people she could impress, were she to ever achieve her size fantasies and be able to put her body on display before the whole world. There used to be a point where the concept of individual people even applied to her, back when she was just another lowly mortal and not a goddess of pure pleasure. But now? Now that she had this unfathomable power at her beck and call, now that her body had become something that could be molded at will and made to be perfect at any given time without as much as a second thought, suddenly the idea of strutting around for any given number of singular souls didn’t strike her as altogether… worth her time; one might say it was blasé, in fact, outright unbecoming of a divine creature such as herself, and that her time would be better served making sure everyone, in general, was made fully aware of her presence. And what better way to do this than by imposing herself upon the very world she was back on, picking a random direction and simply walking towards it, which just so coincidentally happened to be the very middle of the road leading downtown, where thousands of pairs of eyes were just waiting to be able to gaze upon something as marvelous as herself. Of course, this did mean that she was now taking up most of the space usually reserved for motor vehicles, resulting in a few of them having to divert off to the side or pull the emergency brake in order for their drivers to run away before their cars were turned into metal pancakes, but did it matter? Material possessions were hardly of any importance when compared to the glory of Aleksi’s form, doubly so considering she occasionally bent down to “apologize” for the damage done purely so she’d have an excuse to show off so much cleavage that it should be illegal. And it probably was; she just didn’t care.

What mattered was making a nuisance out of herself, which was surprisingly easy given that she was about as tall as most of the apartment buildings around her, and while her proportions weren’t really that exaggerated that she was having trouble fitting in between them, the road was small enough that if she truly put her back to it, her sashaying steps could very easily end up in her hip-checking the structures on both sides of it, leaving large holes where concrete or rebar used to be, and showering the street beneath them in small chunks whenever Aleksi moved on. The giantess didn’t even bother to move out of the way of any parked vehicles either; if they were in front of her, then clearly it was their owners’ fault for not getting them out in time, because she certainly wasn’t going to bother herself with diverting from her path just because a hunk of metal with an engine attached happened to be in the way. Hell, she even went so far as to grant herself even more height, purely so her final size, rocking at about thirty or so feet, granted her the power required to crush even the most resistant of those pesky nuisances into thin, shiny disks, all while leaving behind craters wherever her feet happened to land, multiple gouts of water erupting from where the pipelines beneath the tarmac were exposed and then broken open. Alarms were going off in every direction, panicked screaming mixed together with shouts of praise, and suddenly the whole city was being thrown into chaos the moment Aleksi’s head emerged from the top of the skyline and became fully visible to anyone who bothered to look up.

It was everything she ever wanted, knowing that all the tiny ones around her were unable to wrench their eyes away from her body even when they knew it was in their best interest to do so. She granted herself so much more extra mass that, even without touching her curves at all, Aleksi found herself becoming stuck on the buildings on either side of her even without moving her hips around too much… though, by that point, it was more a case of them pressing against the bottom half of her legs and making walking too much of a hassle more than than anything else, which was easily solvable by a single swipe of her tail effectively flattening several city blocks and bringing with it all the little souls that hadn’t run away in time. They wouldn’t mind, surely; being stuck on her body was its own reward, and her tail made for a better home than anything built out of bricks anyway, so they shouldn’t complain.

By the time the giantess reached the central commercial district of her home city, she had already achieved so much that it barely felt like a destination anymore. Why should she care about all those people around her, the tiny little things who crowded her feet and tried to climb onto her legs in a desperate bid to become closer to their goddess, the entirely irrelevant worshippers whose only real job was to make sure their praise and adoration was directed at the right person? She had started her ascent at twenty feet tall and was now bigger than any of the tallest skyscrapers dotting the skyline; without even realizing it, the sheer act of being who she was had left her so massive, so enormous and overwhelmingly overbearing, that the city itself looked… tiny. Not tiny in the sense that her old self would have an irresistible urge to smash her way through it, living out her kaiju fantasies of being a smokin’ hot super amazon, but tiny in that it was not only completely inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, but was also merely step one of her planetary conquest, because what else was she supposed to do? Looking down at where the former god had been safely kept, she couldn’t even see him anymore; she could feel it, wriggling around in a cleavage so big that the poor thing didn’t even know up from down anymore, but much like everything else around her, the former god had been made utterly irrelevant. They were a thing of the past, a relic of a bygone age that, hopefully, would never again rise up to bother her anymore.

Aleksi yawned, turning from side to side with her hands on her hips, tail swinging lazily as it devastated vast swathes of the urban landscape, her eyes fixated on the horizon, where she knew the next big population center lay. With nothing and no one there to stop her, why not go get it? She was already big enough to utterly dwarf any city on the planet, and was more than capable of simply traversing the way there with a handful of steps… so why not? With a smile on her lips, Aleksi snapped her fingers and released herself from the confines of her own clothing, figuring that if nothing could put an end to her rule, then there was no point in holding herself back anymore. Cheers and cries for more erupted from the thousands upon thousands of insignificant ants down below, pleas and requests that the giantess didn’t even acknowledge, let alone give enough importance to ignore; her body was perfect the way it was, and if she ever decided to add a little more pudge here or there, it would be because she wanted it, not because a bunch of little things that thought themselves sentient wanted to feel even more aroused. Hers was a more sublime goal, not merely to show herself off for the sake of appearances, but to impose her will upon the whole world, to show them the error of their ways, to instruct them on why not worshipping her was the worst thing they could possibly do. Then, and only then, once every living soul had been converted to her cause, when all eyes were on her and she could ascend to achieve true divinity as the new goddess of that planet, then she could rest on her laurels… for a bit.

After all, there was a whole universe out there, and who knew how many civilizations yet waiting for someone like her to bless them with her presence...
