As the bright light faded from her view, Haman Karn had to take a second to realize her new surroundings. It’s as if it took a few moments for the world to fill in around her, as if she was in a limbo and her body was still catching up after the heavy flash and swirling lights had completely overtaken her vision and her reality when the device had activated. Suddenly feeling the water and cold on her skin, she quickly started to realize she was in water, and slowly started to swim to keep herself up on the surface. It wasn’t just her senses that were falling behind though. It felt like things were coming rushing back to her, thoughts going a mile a minute as she was disoriented and dazed, if just for those few seconds. Her pink hair slightly in her face, she moved a hand to push it up out of the way as she was still getting her bearings again. Almost like a slingshot, as if the band that fired her through time was still rebounding and not quite settled, her thoughts were in the same position, here and there, not complete or together just yet. After a few moments, everything was finally in place, things coming back to her almost like rushing water as she floated in the salty ocean water. This was part of her plan, she remembered now. The dizzying light and sensations were from the time machine, technology that she kept to herself for this specific occasion. It was perfect really. Using it to go back in time, and in combination with another small gadget in her pocket, she would finally take her rightful place among her species. Humans were filth. They were dull, useless, unintelligent and a waste of life. She couldn’t stand to be around them, even if they were her own species. She didn’t want to be underneath a single one of them. If anything, she would need to be the one to rule them. They needed to be under her control to be anything more than trash littering everything and anywhere they went. Taking a few moments to get her bearings a bit more, to understand where she was and such, she took stock of her situation. She was definitely in an ocean, floating in sea water. Wearing her normal outfit, black and gold with a long cape, and with a gold, more decorative tiara of sorts that framed her face and separated her pink hair from her features. She could tell she was her normal height, five feet five inches tall, and nothing seemed out of place or out of the ordinary. She reached down into her pocket, going to check to make sure the fist-sized gadget was still there, pulling it out and holding it in front of her face. This tool, along with the time machine, were the keys to getting what she wanted. To first go back to a time where no one could stand up against her or stop her, when they would be easily subjugated was the first step. The second was simple, and would be oh-so enjoyable. To use this technology to make herself larger, much larger, and use her size to lord over the humans and control them, to take power now instead of having to struggle for it in the time she was from, far in the future. Inspecting the small ball, it seemed to have not been affected by the time jump. Everything seemed in place, the lights on it were still slightly glowing blue, showing it was operational. The water hadn’t seemed to affect it as well. Everything had gone perfectly so far, and she couldn’t wait for the next steps. So why wait at all? She pressed the button on the ball to activate it, hearing it let out a loud beep as that light turned from blue to blinking red, as she could feel some sort of vibration emanating from the gadget, flowing in through her arm and through the rest of her body. Besides the slight tingling sensation and the feeling of the slight vibrations through her body, there was almost no other indication that it was working… But as she looked around herself, she could see things seemed to be shrinking. The size of the waves in the ocean around her were getting smaller. She could hear the water rushing around her, being pushed out of the way. The feeling of fish in the water bumping into her, each time getting smaller and smaller as she could definitely tell she was growing in size, to the size that she had originally programmed the device to. Even without any major sensation driving it, it was a rush. The feeling of power she got from the sensations seemingly getting smaller and more pathetic around her made her that much more giddy with knowing it was finally happening. She would finally take her rightful place and rule over everything, over the humans and their feeble lives. It wouldn’t be long now before her vision was her reality. The rushing sensation of the water being pushed out of the way by her growing size was getting stronger by the second, continuing to swell heavier as she did. She could feel the pressure of the water around her legs and feet that were reaching farther and farther down toward the ocean floor, knowing that, with her previous calculations, she should feel the ocean floor on her feet soon enough. While she wasn’t exactly sure how long the process would take, she assumed it would be fairly quick. An assumption she wasn’t wrong of, as within a few minutes, she could slowly start to feel the ocean floor against her feet, slowly going to stand up straight, now taller than the ocean was deep. With her feet planted flat, the water was around her bosom, slowly lapping against her clothing and against the skin on her shoulders as she had a wide smile on her face. The second she went toward shore and made contact with anyone, that would be the beginning of the end for them. She took a slight, tentative moment to raise up her right leg, the strength and power in her size making it easy for her to do so, even with the water’s resistance. Again, her mind was flooded with that giddy feeling of power, something she always strived for, something she always thought she was supposed to have. It was her birthright. She was better than everyone else. They were all inferior, and she deserved to have all the power. And now that she had power, she only wanted more. The cogs started to turn in her head. Why was she stopping just at this? Somewhere around four miles tall, she could conquer and rule over the humans… but why should she? Just to have to possibly share her power with them? They don’t deserve such power, such leadership or intellect benefiting them. She had as much power as she wanted right at her fingertips. She was shortsighted in her thoughts before. There was no reason to stop at this point and rule over them. She should go further, become larger and more powerful, and instead simply wipe out the humans, destroy any trace of them and leave nothing behind. She should simply be a god, and there was nothing anyone could do about it. The gadget having grown with her, she slowly moved to look at it again, seeing that it was still on and was in a standby mode. Pressing a few more buttons on it, she had quickly set it to be a much larger value. It seemed to be giving her warning noise and beeps as she did, but she didn’t even care to listen, quickly hitting the button to begin the process again, feeling those same vibrations and tingling coursing through her body. As she was standing flat-footed on the ocean floor, this time it was very easy to see what was happening as far as the growth, hearing water rushing and flowing around her legs and being pushed away as she was getting larger, the water getting farther away from her. She watched with a grin as the water was going lower and lower on her body, underneath her breasts, around her belly and continuing to get lower still as she was getting higher and higher into the air. She could feel the air getting colder and windier as her upper body was getting higher in elevation by the second. The ocean floor under her feet started to crack and crumble with the growth, the weight of her being getting exponentially more with each passing moment, causing the earth and rock to start to give way, leaving marks of her feet against the very bottom of the depths of the ocean. Rocks around her feet were being pushed away as they got wider and longer, and she could feel what could only be described as pebbles being pushed around her feet, gathering around them even. But this was just the beginning. Larger and larger she went, watching as the water was getting farther away, soon just up to her knees, her body getting multitudes of scale taller than she was before. Those rocks and the feeling on her feet were soon more like sand, and soon more like nothing, almost unfeelable with how small they were, how tiny and insignificant as the world was looking less and less like a planet and more like a large ball. The growth tool in her hand was still beeping erratically, seeming to start to fizzle out as she was getting larger still, hearing the beeps getting more out of tune, out of cadence as it seemed it was having a hard time completing the task she gave it. Not that her attention was on it at all, but rather on herself, and seeing just how powerful she was becoming. But that soon was snapped from her, the focus going to that gadget as it made one last loud beep before it seemed to shut off, the growth stopping as the piece of technology finally gave out before it could finish, now dead and pointless. She looked at it, trying to hit a few of the buttons and not seeing a response, getting fed up with it and giving it a hard squeeze, feeling it shatter and be crushed in her hand. White it hadn’t completed the amount she was hoping for, she was very happy with what it had accomplished. She now stood around three-thousand nine-hundred and twenty miles tall, looking down over the planet below with a wicked grin. The water seemed to be just around her ankles, feeling how the water was being vortexed around her toes, ocean currents being disrupted. She could make out the feeling of cargo ships crashing up against her feet, being destroyed just by her standing there. She had done it. She truly was a god now. Nothing would stop her. Now it was time to show her power. Slowly lifting up a foot, seeing the disrupted ocean water being pulled up some with it before crashing back down, she turned, taking a step toward the closest land mass, one she recognized as Europe as she took one large monstrous step toward it. When her foot came crashing down, the rock gave way, the land being utterly destroyed by the weight of her being, cracking and crumbling away as she rested her weight down. Slowly going to pick up the other foot behind her, she took another devastating step, this time half of her foot hitting land, utterly obliterating anything that was caught underneath. She could feel the slight change in texture compared to the ocean floor, feeling the slight sensation that she was stepping on dry land, on buildings or people. But even that didn’t really feel all that different to her, nor did she give it a passing glance for now. Why should she pay attention to such an insignificant thing? Another step, another loud crunch under her foot. To her, it was if she was stepping on a beach or on gravel. Underneath her foot however was scorched earth, sunk in the shape of her foot, people killed and cities destroyed by a simple action of taking a step, and there was nothing any of her victims could do about it. Far down below on the ground, sirens were already blaring, people scrambling and trying to run for here and there, trying to get out of the town or find shelter in a fruitless attempt to save themselves, the word had already spread. It was the end of the world, and everyone was trying to do what they could to survive. They could see the foot above, already starting on its way down as the panic had set in. Thousands had gathered at the Vatican, praying endlessly in hushed tones and loud yells to be saved by their god, asking their deity to hear the prayer and asking for deliverance, to be saved from this fate. All things that would fall on deaf ears, the futility of it being shown as the foot came crashing down, and in one fell swoop everything being annihilated with a loud crunch. Within another few steps, she was already treading across some of Russia, creating more footprints and destroying land as she went, a wicked grin on her face as she was just leisurely destroying millions of lives and thousands of years of work in buildings and more, not to mention the destruction of hundreds of thousands of years of natural history. It didn’t even matter if where she was stepping was rural and undeveloped or not, the size of her feet and her in general meant each step was devastation to some part of some city or region, sending panic through not just the country, but the world in mere minutes. Each satisfying crunch was music to her ears, and each step was a sign to the humans below of just what they were. Useless, insignificant, unable to do anything about her power or desire to wipe them out. With a straight path through Russia, she soon felt water on her feet again, reaching the other side and into the ocean again, keeping on her same path and slowly counting the seconds of how long it would take for her to circle the globe. Crunch after crunch sounded out as she stepped, hearing the crackling earth even through the water she was disrupting, only taking a handful of steps before she found land again. She was finding the sensation of stepping on land was a lot more satisfying than on the ocean. Maybe that was because she got the satisfaction of knowing she was destroying humans and their cities at the same time, putting them in their place and being that much closer to realizing her goal of wiping them out. With a few more massive steps shaking and shuddering the earth under her feet as she took them, she started to get a bit curious. Considering her size and how she saw herself now, she was basically a god, and could do whatever she wanted. She slowly reached down, leaning down a bit and using her hand to scoop up a large chunk of land, finding it very easy to dig her fingers through the hard rock, pulling it up and lifting it closely to her face as she looked at what she had picked up. Eyes training on that tract of land in her hand, she could see that she had managed to pick up a small city, seeing several buildings, and spying tiny specs that were people running around rampantly. She had a wide grin at that. Seeing how feeble they were, how they were running around trying to save themselves still, completely in her grasp and at her mercy. There was nothing they could do, and she reveled in that, finally seeing humans get what they deserve. Bringing that mass of land closer up toward her face, she slowly opened up her mouth wide, going to shove the bundle of rock right in, it easily fitting inside her mouth. Fitting perfectly inside, she felt the earth up against her tongue, finding the flavor very bland and not very appetizing, but something she felt like she could get used to. Though, the flavor was something that was easy to ignore as she crunched through the rock with her teeth, shattering it and slowly gulping it down, knowing she was basically eating an entire city's worth of people as the chunk of land slid down her throat and straight toward her stomach. She had only chewed the piece of land a few times before she had swallowed, leaving most of it intact, and leaving most of that city untouched when it landed in her stomach acid. Inside her belly, the acid splashed all over the builds and ground, quickly starting to dissolve away at the structures and asphalt. Loud screams sounded from here and there, people with their bodies slowly melting away from a drop of acid landing on them succumbing to their fate. All the while she was already taking more steps, peering down at the ground as she took another earth-shattering step. The extent of her power and her control over the people she was destroying was really starting to set in. She couldn’t help but to grin as she took another step, continuing to walk across the continent as she was leaving molten footsteps in her wake. “Look upon me, the last remnant of your pitiful species, and despair. For I shall reshape this world in my image, exterminating all life on this pathetic rock, all of it weak!” She stopped for a moment as she said that, knowing that all the humans below probably wouldn’t be able to hear or understand her, but feeling the need to finally declare her desire and her power openly. Standing for a moment more and drinking in the situation, she slowly continued on her patch, making more heavy steps as she slowly felt her feet hitting water again, close to back where she started. It was painfully fast how quickly she had managed to circle the globe, noticing that this planet was hardly anything to her now, and would deserve it’s fate for being so insignificant to her own godly being. She could see the steps ahead of her on the land, knowing she was right back where she started, and moving her foot around a bit to feel the print in the ocean floor. She wondered how easy it might be to push her foot down into the planet, how deep she might be able to go, and what kind of strength she really had. There was no reason to just wonder though, when she could do what she wanted without consequence to herself. Slowly raising up her right foot, she pushed and slammed it back down into the water, pushing it down hard instead of just taking a step, and hearing the loud cracking along with the sound of water being shot up from where she stomped. She felt the ground giving way easily, sinking in under the strength of her leg as it pushed down into the ocean floor, rock being compacted and destroyed as her leg sank deeper into the ground. Even after the initial stop, she pressed down harder, feeling it giving way still more as her foot sank deeper into the ground, feeling the rock surrounding it as she was making a large crater in the ocean floor, feeling water rushing out to fill it up, the level of ocean water noticeably dipping. Heat was starting to coat her foot, knowing she was probably getting into the molten rock underneath, a lot of steam started to appear where she had sunk her foot in, still pushing down and stopping after a few moments. With her leg shin-deep in the earth, feeling the water bubbling and boiling around her leg, steam started to rise up around her, seeing as it was being trapped by the atmosphere and seemed to be spreading rather quickly. The ocean was very slowly seeming to lose some of its level, sinking a bit more thanks to the massive crater she had made, especially as she slowly pulled her leg up and out of it. Standing up straight, and looking down, she saw that crater being filled with more and more water, bubbling and boiling, looking like a mix between red and blue as the lava was evaporating a lot of the water. It felt good on her skin, the rising humidity and the steam that was encroaching around the globe. It brought a pleasant warmth to her, something that wasn’t so pleasant for the tiny humans living on the planet though… The heat started to become sweltering around the globe, the temperature rising and clouds starting to cover most of the planet. Having raised several degrees in any given place, if the constant sirens and calls that it’s the end of the world weren’t enough, people were trying to find ways to stay cool and survive. The water level had dropped, land appearing around what were once beaches in coasts all over the world. Normally somewhere around twelve-thousand feet, the depth of the water had gone down to around eight thousand, leading to a substantial change in both climate and available land. Not that it would matter much by the time Haman would be done with the planet. Feeling rather pleased with herself for seeing just how easily she could, quite literally, mold the planet with her new strength, she decided it was time to show the rest of the parts of the planet she had yet to visit her strength. After all, she needed to show the rest of humanity who would be annihilating them. She slowly turned around, heading back toward the United States first, slowly going to take a few steps back onto land. She stopped for a moment though, going to lean down and look at one of the footprints she had left earlier, seeing what they might look like now after settling for a short time. Easily seen was the red hot earth that had been compressed and uncovered by the destruction of her print, but left there was actually a very close facsimile to the underside of her foot. She couldn’t help but think of how perfect it was, the curvature of her foot, the wrinkles along the bottom of it, and just how exact and proportioned it was. She was truly a perfect being, now more than ever, and enjoyed how she left equally perfect marks in the ground where she walked. After that small moment of reflection, she slowly turned, looking at the land in front of her, identifying the general shape and getting a slight grin as she turned to head south, wanting to take a direction she hadn’t gone yet. Each earth-shaking step brought about more destruction, the countless lives that were being lost and infrastructure that was being with each movement in an untold amount, and yet going completely ignored by Haman as she slowly walked across the southern part of the country. With a few more steps she had already crossed into Mexico, noticing how the land was getting a bit more bumpy under her feet, getting the sense she was stepping on some mountains and some more arid climate in the area. She made a note of how that felt, looking down and noticing a rather large city. She made sure to take just a few steps toward it, just so it would be in her path, and landed a rather hearty step right on top of it. The feeling of civilization being utterly destroyed under her foot was a bit annoying, a bit pointy with all the buildings, but nothing that wasn’t quickly flattened out into fitting the shape of her foot within a split second. Of course, it also brought her the satisfaction of flexing her power, even if she just left one large footprint right in the middle of that city instead of stamping out the entirety of it, already moving past it. The land started to get a bit thinner here, moving toward the connection between Mexico and South America. Not that it mattered to her, as she planted a foot right on the connecting land, feeling the many ships around the area being displaced and crushed underneath her might. Taking her first big step into South America, she couldn’t help but grin seeing the many trees and forested areas. Wanting to feel how that might feel under her feet, she slowly took a step toward the vast Amazon rainforest, quickly going to set her foot inside. The trees underneath her soles gave it a bit of a cushy feeling that was quickly replaced by the feeling of the hard rock being cracked underneath her weight. It was definitely a more pleasing feeling than the hard structures, but didn’t make too much of a difference in the end. It all was completely destroyed like anything else would under her power. Taking a few steps over away from the forest though, she slowly stepped onto the more mountainous coast of South America, feeling the peaks of rock under her foot as she slowly stepped down over them, feeling them crumble slowly and seeing a cloud of dust slightly puff out around her foot as it pressed down, feeling the rock under her foot more of a mound rather than completely crushed in as usual. She moved to take another step, finding it to be slightly like a massage, pressing into some pressure points under her foot, something that she rather enjoyed for the moment. But she had more to do than just feel the new sensations her massive feet gave her as she walked the planet. Refocusing, she slowly stepped down the length of land in front of her, heading further south until she felt water again, starting to tread even more south, and starting to feel the water a bit more cold around her feet as she got more and more toward the south pole. Starting to see the ice cap around the south of the globe, she made a move straight toward the ice, a grin on her face. Earlier, she had dried up some of the water, and caused the oceans to recede. Now she wanted to see what would happen if she helped to melt these glaciers and ice, and watch the water rise back up again as a consequence of her actions. A few more heavy steps and water splashing and vortexing around her feet, and she was soon right next to the icy land of Antarctica. While it did feel a bit cold to her, it didn’t feel overwhelmingly so. Almost just more so chilly instead of downright cold. It seemed in her new size that the cold wasn’t going to affect her much, something she was happy about. Raising up her leg slowly, she moved to take her first step on the icy surface, but as she went to step down, it gave way, cracking under her weight and shattering, melting from the temperature of her skin and dissipating into the water, leaving a large, foot-shaped hole in the ice. She pressed her foot down a bit at that, going to make a bit of a crater in the ocean floor, and inviting some of that hot magma to bubble up into the water as she moved to take another step. As her foot shattered more of the ice on the way down, she admired the shape her foot made in the ice as it crushed through it, enjoying how easily it shattered and melted away, noticing the level of water around her foot rising up just a bit, and knowing it would be rising and causing more chaos across the coastlines of the world. With that in mind, she took another step still, even leaning down to press her hand into the ice, feeling it melt around her digits as her hand sank in a bit just being lightly pressed against the ice. Taking a few more steps and enjoying the slight destruction she was making in all the ice, she melted a few more of the glaciers and broke up more of the ice before turning back toward the north, deciding it was time to head back to more inhabited land and continue on her rampaging world tour. There were still places to introduce to their new god and destroyer, after all. Stepping back into water, finding it a bit more cool and also a bit higher on her foot than it was before her small visit to the south pole, she could see her footprints still in the ground in South America, seeing the bottom tip of Africa untouched, and quickly started to make her way there, stepping through the ocean at a rather brisk pace. No need to rush herself or tire herself out. She was a god after all. Things will wait for her, she no longer needs to wait for other things. With her feet soon feeling land underneath them again, she slowly stepped more inland on the continent, heading through some rather arid areas and feeling various different sensations under her feet as she did, mostly dust and sand giving the underside of her feet a more grainy feeling. Slowly making her way more toward the center of the continent, more trees and forested areas were feeling more cushioned under her steps, though like everything else were soon flat and barren, devoid of anything but the imprint of where she pathed. She enjoyed looking behind her, seeing her patch so clearly as she crushed trees and animals with each step, going over various small towns without even knowing they existed. Taking a few more steps, she slowly came across what looked to be a larger city next to a river, grinning a bit at seeing such a large center that was ripe for destruction. This time however, she decided to have a bit of fun, instead leaning down a bit closely, seeing vehicles move to leave the city, driving away, and how backed up the roads seemed to be. Reaching down with her hand, she slowly went to cup her hand some, going to dig into ground, pushing into the rock and dirt underneath the city and starting to slowly dig the metropolis out, carefully cupping it in her hand and going to lift it up free from the ground, held in her palm and slowly brought closer to her face. After a moment of looking at the city, she slowly moved to move down, going slowly to sit down on the ground behind her, causing the rock and more to shatter as she moved to lean back, resting her hand into the earth as she leaned back on it, and move to slowly put the city she had on her hand onto her belly, leaning back enough so it stayed there. Looking at the city, enjoying showing her power and just how much larger she was, an entire large city sitting on her stomach and still no match for her size while the ground under her weight cracked and crumbled, she slowly moved to reach out at that piece of land with a finger. She moved to press along the side of it, making it spin, watching some of the buildings give from the forces and shatter, falling apart. Moving that finger slowly, she went to press it right in the center, right where she saw a very tall building, going to press on it and feel it break and be crushed under her single finger. Pressing down more, she slowly felt the ground underneath give away, seeing the entire fragment of rock and ground break into two splitting the city into two pieces. Seeing some movement still on the ground, vehicles and people moving here and there, she slowly moved to pick up one half of the broken city, going to bring it toward her mouth as she opened wide, throwing it onto her tongue like it was a snack, like a piece of popcorn, before chewing through it a few times and swallowing. She could definitely taste the metal and the rock, not very pleasant flavors, but still an indulgent show of force and strength as she felt it going down her stomach and into her belly. As that part of the city was quickly sinking into her stomach acid, she couldn’t help but feel a blench coming on, moving to sit back up a bit before she let out that build up of gas, letting out a loud blech. What was just a simple burp for her, and a small one at that, was a massive wave of force that swept across northern Africa. She could see how the ground was being pushed aside, broken by the force, cities being blown away. What wasn’t destroyed initially by that wave was the lasting effects after. Small specks of stomach acid also fell from that belch, landing on a few cities and causing buildings and people to be slowly melted away by the acid. Along the path of the belch also left a lingering stench, one that rolled farther north than just where the force was, causing illness and even death from those caught within the cloud. Having had her fun, she slowly moved to sit up, the other half of the city falling and crashing back into the earth, destroyed on impact and taking out a good amount of the greenery underneath it as she slowly stood back up. She looked down to see the imprint of where she decided to sit down, noticing why it was so warm, seeing molten rock starting to seep up from where she was as she slowly moved to take a few more steps, already heading more north. She saw the devastation from her simple blech, grinning a bit as she added to it with her footprints. Moving more north, she could see the climate becoming more arid, feeling sand and dry dirt under her feet as she stepped over dunes of sand, making the trek across the desert areas of northern Africa in a matter of a few steps, leaving her marks in the land as she moved. She kept her eyes trained on the ground, knowing of a few places in specific she wanted to visit and leave her mark. Starting to see the layout of the land just before her, she was starting to see one such place, a grin on her face as she slowly turned and took steps toward it, stepping past northern Africa and looking straight toward the middle east, even leaning down a bit to find what she was looking for. Even with the sirens blaring and people running this way and trying to leave or find shelter, a myriad of people were still doing the only thing that they hoped would help them in this desperate time. Gathered around the large cube, Macca was one of the holy sites around the world, where prayer and worship took place constantly. Of course, today was one such day, especially with the end of the world at hand. Hushed words and prayers to a god for deliverance continued even as the light was blocked out, the giant above looming over them, and that large foot already lifted and moving in place overtop. Falling debris was shattering buildings and killing people left and right, a prelude of what was to come. But the most devout still praying here didn’t even flinch, still searching for help and their savior to stop their destruction. Haman just had the widest grin, almost letting out a loud, bellowing laugh as her foot came down, completely destroying the holy site and everyone still praying helplessly. Just another way of showing how useless they were, how insignificant and how worthless the human race was as they just prayed for help instead of actually helping themselves. Pressing her foot down a bit more, grinding the dirt and rock under it roughly with her foot and slightly moving her foot back and forth a bit into the dirt, destroying more of the surrounding city with the slight movements, she slowly set her eyes on the next spot, keeping her foot pressed down in where the holy monument was, and moving to lift up her other foot, already taking aim at the next site. Nestled near the water and amongst a very populated area, Jerusalem had many holy sites around the area, all now filled with people praying and looking for deliverance, just as had happened at Mecca, with the same scene already playing out. The foot looming up above, places and being crushed by falling rocks that were coming off the bottom of it as it was slowly coming down on top of them. The hushed words and prayers got louder and louder as it came closer, yelling and screaming being heard loudly as it was just about to come down, until all of the sounds were silenced as the earth quaked, a loud deafening boom as the ground cracked and everything underneath was obliterated instantly. Now with each foot pressed down on top of a destroyed site of prayer, Haman pressed more roughly down with both her legs, slowly making a much larger crater on these spots, making the area around them crack and break easily with her new strength before she slowly moved to lift up her feet one at a time, stepping past both and looking back to see the craters slowly being overtaken by the molten rock she uncovered with her steps. Surely that would help to show the rest of the world just how useless it was to hope for anything more than complete annihilation. With those two sites completely destroyed, she slowly moved to head more toward the east, seeing the wide lands ahead of her still untouched by her steps. She could see her original path around the world still to the north, the footprints she left through Russia, and decided the largest continent on the planet needed more than just those. Still stepping through arid lands of the middle east, she slowly moved more toward China, stepping over deserts and getting into more mountainous areas, seeing the topography rising up from the land and reaching up higher than most anywhere else she had seen so far. The rocky area felt nice on her feet after having stepped so much over the more loose sand and ground of the arid areas, again feeling it press over the pressure points on the bottom of her soles, and enjoying the slight massaging feeling it gave her to walk through. As she was making her way through, hoping to get into the densely populated country of China, she did notice one particular peak above most of the others, recognizing it as Mount Everest. Crushing other smaller mountains with each step, leveling them and causing many heavy avalanches across the region, she moved to step just in front of Everest, looking down at it somewhat. She leaned down, going to put her middle finger against her thumb, and slowly moved to flick at the very top of the mountain, shattering it and sending the mountaintop flying through the air to crash somewhere in China with a large explosion of rock and dirt. She wasn’t just here to destroy humanity though, but also the planet at large. Just to show how she was stronger than the celestial body and to test her own strength, to act like a god that she was over everything, including the planet itself. Lifting up her right leg, she quickly pressed her foot down on top of the mountain, quickly making it shatter and give under her weight, feeling it press and compact down and seeing the snow and rock shatter and break out from under her foot, quickly turning what was the world’s tallest mountain into a flat crater in the ground. While lifting up her foot, she made sure to slowly push forward as well, kicking some of the excess mountain off her foot and sending it flying into the air over China, watching as a bunch of it came falling down into the ground, looking almost like meteors sliding into the ground and creating swatches of burning land behind it. Satisfied with conquering the mountain, Haman started to head toward China again, crushing countless acres of land, cities, and animals with each step, none worthy of her focus as she continued along her path of destruction. Seeing the heavily developed land in eastern China, she started to stroll that way, the large distance only being a few steps for her as she was soon upon the densely populated areas. Sirens blared, military vehicles and police in the streets trying to direct the screaming people and running crowds through the streets, doing their best to try and quell the chaos as word had come through that the giant was coming directly toward them. There wasn’t much they could do, most of their orders being on deaf ears as they tried their best to help, even if it was utterly hopeless. As destruction from falling drocks was erupting around them, one mother was still trying to keep it together, and moving to slowly try and tuck her kids into bed. She had the window closed, trying to drown out the loud sirens as she looked over her two kids, activating as if nothing was wrong and everything was ok, slowly going to make sure they were covered and looking into their eyes as she went to bow down, giving each a kiss on the forehead as they continued to ask. “What’s going on mom?” “Why are all the sirens going off?” “Are we going to be ok?” She just nodded her head slowly, taking in the look in their eyes and their faces as she answered. “Everything will be ok, children. Just lay quietly and sleep. I promise. Everything will be ok.” Her smile didn’t falter, slightly starting to hum a lullaby for her children as chaos was still erupting all around them outside. It was the end of the world, but they were going to die in peace and with each other, the only gift they would be given on this day. “Everything will be-” was all she could say before total annihilation, instant death taking over them as Haman laughed and cackled far above, sealing the fate of the human race one step at a time.
