Chapter Text
A mouse scurried across the floor. Evelyn Volkmire caught it with the toe of her boot.
She laughed as the mouse squealed. She very slowly crushed it. "Finally got you, you little bastard!"
"What the hell are you doing?" Silas Volkmire scowled at her from his workstation. "It's almost time! We won't get a second chance at this, unless you've got a million dollars you're not telling me about."
"Just savoring the little victories." She licked her lips. At twenty-six, she was pale and chubby with black hair that covered her eyes, dark eyeshadow and black lipstick. She had a pear-shaped figure and wore a black turtleneck sweater beneath her white lab coat. "Think of all those people who looked down on us, the parents who sent us to boarding school, the children who bullied me, the boys who rejected me, the doctors who said I was crazy, the universities that refused to fund our research. They thought I was pathetic!"
"You're thinking of that now?! Of all times! Evelyn, focus!"
"Yes, now! Now everything changes! Now I will be the one who makes the rules!"
"We're creating an artificial black hole, not conquering the world."
"Inside that black hole will be a whole new universe of my design! The very laws of physics will bend to my whims! We are about to be gods!"
"Yeah, right, gods for a minute or two while we keep the black hole contained, and then it will flit off into space and be lost forever. This isn't about ruling the universe, Evelyn. This is about collecting data, proving your theory, and publishing our results. We'll finally get the respect we deserve, if you can get your head out of the clouds and help me. The capacitors are almost full. If we don't fire the lasers at the right moment, we'll start leaking energy."
Evelyn threw back her head and laughed. "Fool! You have no idea what's really happening here! I thought you would have guessed by now!"
"What the hell are you talking about?!"
Evelyn stepped up to her workstation and her fingers flew across the keyboard. Numbers and images flooded her computer screens. There were planets, stars, and galaxies. There were people and interstellar ships. A tall, beautiful woman with black hair and an hourglass figure appeared on the screen. Evelyn giggled as she tapped a key and slightly increased the size of the woman's breasts.
"What is all that? Evelyn, what are you doing?!"
"This is what I'm talking about! It's a universe, my universe! And now it becomes real!"
She slammed her hand onto a large red button and the whole room trembled. Petawatts of laser energy surged beyond bulletproof glass. The glass trembled and then shattered. A burning hot wind rushed into the laboratory.
"Evelyn! What are you doing?! Stop, you can't!"
Evelyn laughed as she leapt over her workstation and ran toward the shattered windows. She threw herself into the swirling chaos of a newly formed black hole.
"Evelyn!" Silas screamed. His voice was lost in the howl of a universe being born.
One Evelyn Volkmire was vaporized in energy beyond human imagination. Another Evelyn Volkmire breathed her first breath in a new world.
She took her first wobbly steps upon rocky ground. Steam vented around her naked six-foot body. Her lean muscles flexed and her large breasts swayed. She looked up and saw new stars twinkle into existence.
She cupped her new breasts with her new hands and hefted the weight of her expansive bust.
"It worked!" She threw her head back and cackled. "It worked! Those fools could never comprehend the power, but now I will rule the universe!"
Still laughing, she scrambled up a rocky ridge and then looked down into a swirling pool of liquid that throbbed with a blinding light. "The Infinity Core! The source of unlimited power, just as I designed it!"
She thrust her hands into the water. When she pulled them out, her fingertips were sparking with arcs of electricity.
She raised her hands above her head and shot lightning into the sky.
"The people of my universe will soon learn to fear their new Dark Queen!"
She slammed her palms against the rocks and the ground trembled. She groaned as she felt power flowing out of her and into the earth.
Her hands were steaming as she straightened up. Her unsupported breasts bounced and wobbled. She grinned as the first life sprouted from the barren land.
Lightning arced from her outstretched finger to a nearby boulder. The rock twisted and smoked and crumbled. As the smoke cleared a large throne of pure ruby appeared. The Dark Queen sat her naked butt upon the throne to watch jungles spread across the planet.
The sun rose on the planet of Ragnarok for the first time. It warmed the Dark Queen's flawless bare skin.
The first animal to scurry out of the jungle was a rat.
The Dark Queen laughed. A zap arced from her finger to stun the rat. She picked it up and smirked as she stared into its eyes. It squirmed in her tight grip.
Lightning shot from her free hand and blasted a pit into the ground. A steaming green liquid rose up to fill the pit, bubbling and churning.
With a giggle, she dropped the rat into the pit.
The rat screamed and thrashed. The water splashed up and smoked wherever it spilled from the pit. The screams grew deeper. Bones popped and groaned as they grew larger and flesh stretched.
A mutant rat climbed out of the pit. He was a 6' tall mix of man and rat, naked with steaming fur. He had a shaggy mop of black hair, a maw of pointed teeth, a muscular body, and a large belly that almost hid his dangling manhood.
The Dark Queen smirked as she looked him up and down. "What is your name?"
"I am Blag, Mistress!"
"Blag? You are an idiot! But you might be useful. Gather all the rats you can and dump them into this pit. Make more mutants like you. You can be their leader so that they obey my will!"
"Yes, Mistress!"
"One more thing, Blag. Make them understand that they must not go near the Infinity Core. Anyone who touches that water will die. Can you get that into your pointy little head?"
"Yes, Mistress! I understand!"
Blag hurried to work.
The Dark Queen giggled and licked her lips as she watched another rat fall into the pit. She moaned to the sounds of screaming as rat after rat painfully transformed.
"Hey, limp dick!"
"Do you mean me, Mistress?" Blag ran to her throne and knelt.
"Yes, you, pea brain. I want food. Have your rats prepare a feast, and make it proper human food."
"Yes, Mistress!"
Dozens of mutant rats frantically went to work gathering fruits from the jungle. They chopped down trees to build a table. They rubbed sticks together to build a fire and slaughtered a wild pig.
One of the mutant rats stumbled. He was panting from exhaustion.
"You!" The Dark Queen stood from her throne and glared. "How dare you rest before I've eaten?!"
The rat gasped and squeaked and trembled. He stammered something incoherent.
A bolt of lightning arced from the Dark Queen's finger. The rat turned into a pile of flaming ash.
Soon the Dark Queen was sitting at a feast and gorging herself. She bit into a mango and juice dribbled down her chin and onto her bare breasts.
Between mouthfuls of food she said, "Send out rats to find granite and start a quarry. I want blocks of granite, as big as possible."
"Yes, Mistress, at once!"
"Oh, and send out another group of rats to find some trees that produce latex. I want something to wear."
"Of course, Mistress."
"Excellent. Maybe that flea-bitten brain of yours is useful for something after all. Do you think you can manage a wooden hut with a soft bed and a door that locks? I have no intention of sleeping among you disgusting creatures tonight, so make it quick."
"Immediately, My Queen!"
A frantic race against the setting sun began as the mutant rats formed an army of workers to assemble a hut. Rats used their teeth to cut down dozens of trees while other rats cut the logs to size. The sun set and work continued by the firelight.
The Dark Queen shot a bolt of lightning at one of the rats. He squealed and writhed as he slowly burned to death with electricity rushing through him.
"I am getting tired of waiting. When I get impatient, rats start dying, so don't keep me waiting."
By the time the rats finished the hut, it was long past midnight. The Dark Queen locked the door and flopped face-first into the soft bed that the rats had prepared for her. She slept with a little smile on her face, and it was afternoon by the time she woke.
She opened her door and gasped. There were thousands of mutant rats and much of the jungle had been cleared to build a city of huts. Stacks of granite blocks dominated the city.
"Mistress!" Blag ran to kneel at her feet. "Your army of rats continues to grow! There are teams hauling granite from your quarries, and we have begun to collect latex. Please have patience, because the latex is produced very slowly!"
"Dye it black. Black is the only color that I will wear. I will wait until tomorrow, but some fool will die if there isn't enough latex ready by then."
"I will double the number of rats working on it, Mistress!"
"Move the granite blocks to build a wall around the Infinity Core. I want a solid foundation because the wall is going to become a very tall tower, and remember that the rats must not touch the Infinity Core."
"We shall begin at once, Mistress!"
Hundreds of rats began moving granite blocks toward the Infinity Core. The Dark Queen floated into the air and hovered above the glowing pool to keep careful watch over the rats. The blocks arrived in a continuous stream. The wall grew thicker and higher by the hour. The wall was a continuous barrier with no gate, so that the only way to access the Infinity Core was by flying over the wall.
That night, she used magic to lift her bed from her hut and move it to sit beside the Infinity Core within the wall. She bathed in the Infinity Core and then flopped into the bed.
She grasped one of her large breasts, squeezing it so that her flesh bulged between her fingers. Her other hand slid between her muscular thighs and she rubbed her crotch.
"Oh, yes," she moaned deeply with her eyes closed, "the Dark Queen is so powerful! Worship me or die."
She moaned louder and louder until she finally stiffened and trembled all over. She fell asleep a few moments later.
When she woke, the tower had grown around her. It was an enormous edifice of granite. She had to navigate up through several floors to find the exit at the top. There were three cranes built from granite and wood that the rats had used to lift blocks to the top of the tower in the night.
"We are ready to take your measurements, Mistress," said Blag as he knelt near the base of the tower when the Dark Queen floated down.
"Good. I know my body is gorgeous, but it is time to find something to wear. I have business to do elsewhere."
She followed Blag to a hut where rats were stirring a vat of black latex. Rats gathered around her and measured her body using knotted twine.
"You have a very beautiful body, Mistress," said a female rat, "It will be a pleasure to make clothing for you."
"You pinheads had better get it right. I want something dignified but very revealing. Give me long boots and gloves, and show my cleavage. Understand?"
"Yes, Mistress," said several female rats in unison.
The rats worked quickly to form the latex to fit her body and neatly trim the hems to show off her flawless skin. Laces along the back pulled it tight and held the rubbery cups against her large breasts.
"Excellent," she purred as she stroked her gloved fingers along her latex-clad chest, "You nitwits aren't completely useless after all. I think I'll let you live."
"Thank you, Mistress!" The rats cried as the Dark Queen flew out the door and back toward her tower. The rats followed, waving at her in adoration.
The Dark Queen returned to the Infinity Core. She focused her magic on the water and lifted a glowing ball of liquid from the pool. The ball rippled and shimmered and then solidified into a crystal ball. A wand grew from the ball, creating a scepter.
She smirked and snatched the scepter from the air. "At last, it is time to see my universe."
She waved the scepter at one of the granite walls and a glowing portal opened. Beyond the portal was an image of Earth. It was not the Earth as she remembered it from her former life, but the Earth as she designed, an Earth of robots, flying cars, and space explorers. It was the center of a vast Terran Empire.
She adjusted her breasts in her latex, took a deep breath, and then stepped through the portal.
