Chapter 3: Conquest of the Celestial Empress I
The skies above the golden palace were clear, a deep and eternal shade of blue that seemed to stretch into infinity. Kal-El, seated upon his throne in his divine fortress, looked out over the vast expanse of the multiverse he now controlled. His eyes—shimmering pools of celestial power—seemed to pierce the very fabric of reality, sensing every movement, every whisper, every pulse of life that thrived within the realms under his dominion.
His golden cape fluttered in the weightless air, reflecting his godlike majesty. There was no need to move; his will bent the universe to his desire. He was omnipotent—there was no foe who could challenge him, no realm he could not conquer.
Kal-El's thoughts were interrupted as a soft presence appeared beside him. Lois Lane, the former journalist employed at the Daily Planet, now his first and eternal love, stood in the doorway, her silhouette framed by the soft light of the grand hall. Her beauty was unparalleled, even in this world where the most stunning women followed him as devoted disciples. Lois was his foundation—the anchor to his once-humanity.
She approached him silently, as if knowing her place, yet with a gentle assertiveness that always seemed to draw him to her. Lois had long since become more than mortal, her own power elevated to celestial heights through her love for him. But in his eyes, she remained his Lois—the woman who had always believed in him, no matter how far he'd fallen from grace.
"I've been watching," she said softly, her voice like a melodic whisper in the air. "Another conquest? Another realm to bend to your will?"
Kal-El glanced at her, his lips curling into a smile that was both tender and knowing. "The world you see now, Lois, is only the beginning. I will reshape it all—every universe, every dimension. Nothing will stand against me."
Lois nodded, her eyes gleaming with unwavering trust. "And what of us? Your harem, your queens... We stand beside you, wherever you go, but we are also yours in every way. We are not mere prizes, Kal-El. We are your companions. Your equals."
Kal-El rose from his throne, his golden armor glinting in the soft light. The golden S symbol across his chest gleamed with an otherworldly brilliance, a symbol of both power and hope. He stepped toward her, his aura intensifying as he closed the distance. With a single, effortless motion, he cupped her face, lifting her chin so that she met his gaze.
"I know, Lois. And you are more than I could ever deserve. But my conquest is never truly over. The realms are vast, and there are many who would worship at my feet. Many worlds to claim, many women to add to my fold."
Her eyes softened. "Another conquest? Another woman?"
Kal-El chuckled, brushing a lock of her hair back from her face. "Yes. There is always someone new. But you, Lois... you are irreplaceable. You were the first. And no matter how many I bring into my world, you will always be my greatest love."
Lois smiled, her heart swelling with love for him. "Then go, conquer them. But remember, no matter how many you claim, I will always stand with you. We will rule together."
A flicker of warmth passed through Kal-El's steely gaze as he looked at her, his resolve momentarily softened by the love she offered. Then, without a word, he leaned down, his golden armor brushing against her as he cupped her face. Their lips met in a surge of heat, an immediate, fierce connection. The kiss deepened quickly, a passionate clash of tongues as they gave in to the raw intensity of their longing. Each movement was urgent, desperate, as if they both knew the time they had together was fleeting. The heat between them was palpable, their breaths mingling, saliva slick as they continued the kiss—no longer just an exchange of affection, but a battle, a promise, a claim on one another.
When they finally broke apart, their foreheads rested together, their ragged breaths filling the silence as the world outside seemed to dissolve. The taste of each other lingered, the depth of their connection leaving a mark far beyond the moment. Kal-El's gaze met hers, the fire between them unspoken, but understood.
Kal-El's lips brushed her forehead, and for a moment, he allowed himself to savor the purity of their connection. But then, his gaze hardened once more. There were realms to conquer. There was power to claim.
The Golden Superman's next move was swift. His senses rippled across the vast expanses of the omniverse, drawing him to a distant world—a dimension where an empress awaited him. She was no mere mortal, but a powerful, high-dimensional being—her beauty as vast and boundless as the cosmos themselves. Her name was Queen Elara, and she ruled an Universe that is composed of countless galaxies. Her legend had reached Kal-El's ears, and the promise of claiming her was too alluring to resist.
As his senses glided through the cosmos, Kal-El's mind wandered back to his harem, his queens who adored and loved him beyond reason. Some had once been warriors, mages, powerful cultivators, ruthless queens, beautiful goddesses, high-dimensional beings whose very presence defy realities—each a powerful force in her own right, from every walk of womanhood, embodying strength, wisdom, and grace in countless forms. There were also a few had once stood defiant before his might. Yet, each had yielded to him in the end, recognizing the truth: he was the supreme ruler of all that existed.
His speed broke through the barriers of space and time, touching down on the surface of Elara's homeworld. The air was thick with the scent of exotic flowers, and the land was blanketed in gold and white. The grandeur of the world mirrored the pride of its ruler—an empress with a power that rivaled many powerful universal entity's power.
Her palace loomed before him, a towering structure of obsidian and crystal, nestled on a galaxy that overlooked vast fields of starlight. Kal-El's presence was like a tempest. Even before his presence touched the universe, the entire universe quivered with the power of his arrival. The gods well here used as mere guards—imposing figures made of shimmering energy—bowed in reverence, acknowledging the Golden Superman's supremacy.
Inside, Queen Elara awaited him. She was a vision of celestial beauty, her skin like molten silver, her hair a cascade of stars that seemed to shimmer with every movement. Her eyes were a deep shade of purple, gleaming with the wisdom of millennia, and her body radiated an otherworldly glow. She stood at the center of a grand hall, her expression calm but expectant.
"You came," she said, her voice lilting but firm. "I knew you would."
Kal-El smiled as he strode toward her, his power enveloping the room. "I promised I would, Empress. And now, your world will be mine."
Elara's eyes narrowed, but she did not flinch. She had heard of the Golden Superman's might, of his domination over countless realms. She had once believed she could resist him—stand firm in her own strength. But even now, she could feel the pull of his presence, his aura filling the room with an irresistible force. His power was like a tide, threatening to sweep her away.
"I am no ordinary ruler," she said, her voice steady, though a flicker of uncertainty danced behind her eyes. "You will have to do more than show your power, Kal-El. I do not submit easily."
Kal-El's lips curled into a slow smile. "I do not expect mere submission from you, Empress. I expect devotion. You will love me, just as they do. Just as every world will."
In a single motion, he reached out, his hand glowing with divine light. He cupped her face as he had done with Lois, his power crackling around them both. Elara's body stiffened for a moment, but then, something in her eyes shifted. It wasn't fear. It was awe.
She had underestimated him.
Kal-El leaned in, his golden form towering over her, his aura enveloping her in warmth and unyielding power. "You are mine, Elara. You will belong to me, just as they do. And you will love me."
Elara's lips parted as she found herself unable to speak, the power of his words echoing in her mind. The realization washed over her—there was no escape. This was her fate.
