Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

Gustav's perception expanded, his mind traveling across the vast expanse of space. He could see stars and galaxies, their light twinkling like distant beacons. He felt the pull of distant worlds, each one a point of interest in the endless cosmos.

His further pushed the spread of his being.

Then, his mind focused on a familiar sight. The blue and green orb of Earth floated before him, its beauty magnified by his enhanced senses.

Gustav's heart swelled with a mix of awe and nostalgia. He could see the continents, the oceans, and the swirling clouds that blanketed the planet. It was a sight that filled him with both pride and longing.

"I can see Earth from here," Gustav whispered to himself, astonished by the clarity and detail of his vision.

But he wasn't content to merely observe. He wanted to feel the earth beneath his feet, to walk its lands once more.

With a determined thought, he extended his astral form towards the planet, his consciousness traveling at a speed that defied comprehension. In an instant, he found himself hovering above Earth's surface, his astral form shimmering like a golden phantom.

Gustav descended slowly, his feet touching down on familiar soil. He stood in the heart of a bustling city, its streets filled with people going about their daily lives.

But no one noticed him. He was invisible, his presence undetectable to those around him. He marveled at the sights and sounds of the city, the hustle and bustle of everyday life continuing without interruption.

He walked through the crowded streets, his astral form gliding effortlessly among the people. He saw children playing in a park, their laughter filling the air. He passed by a street musician, the melody of their guitar blending with the city's ambient noise. Every detail was vivid, every sound crystal clear.

As he wandered, Gustav felt a deep connection to the world he had once called home. He moved through neighborhoods, each one filled with memories.

He passed by old cafes and even saw the MBO tower.

Gustav wondered what more the three in one Golden body could do and tried to tap into other abilities.

However, the strain was still immense, and eventually, Gustav felt himself slipping again.

He instantly disconnected from Earth as the golden glow faded with his body reverting to its original state. He gasped for breath in exhaustion.

"You did it," Stark said in admiration. "You held it for longer this time."

In E.E's apartment, the activities of the city outside provided a comforting background to the intimate setting inside.

The room was warmly lit, casting a golden glow that highlighted the smooth, modern furnishings and the personal touches that made it feel like home.

Elevora lay relaxed in E.E's arms, her head resting on his chest. It was a rare moment of vulnerability from her, a side she only showed to him.

"We need to figure out what to do about Ria," Elevora said softly, breaking the comfortable silence. "I know they're using him as bait to lure Gustav out."

E.E nodded, his hand gently stroking her hair. "Yeah, it's clear as day. But this whole narrative about Gustav being a villain has gone on long enough. We have to clear his name."

Elevora looked up at him, her eyes searching his face. "How? The entire universe believes he's a planet destroyer and the leader of the Gustavo Alliance."

E.E's gaze was steady. "I've documented all of Gustav's exploits since he went on the run. Every planet he's saved, every act of heroism. We need to get this information out there. But more importantly, we need to figure out who's really running the Gustavo Alliance and bring back credible evidence that Gustav was never involved."

Elevora sighed with her brow furrowing. "That won't be easy. I'll have to travel off-planet to track them down. And…" She hesitated, her usual confidence wavering. "I don't want to be so far from you."

E.E chuckled, a warm, reassuring sound. "There's that fragile side showing," he teased gently. "The side most people never get to see."

Elevora pouted, a rare and endearing sight. "Don't make fun of me."

E.E pulled her closer, kissing the top of her head. "I'm not making fun of you. I'm just reminding you that it's okay for you to not act like you're superman all the time. It's our job to make sure our friends are okay, and that includes Gustav and Ria."

She smiled softly, snuggling closer to him.

"You're right."

Their conversation shifted as their proximity deepened the connection between them. E.E's hand moved from her hair to her cheek, tilting her face up so their eyes met. There was an unspoken understanding in his gaze, a promise of support and love.

Slowly, he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers. The kiss was gentle at first, a tender exploration that quickly grew more passionate.

Elevora responded eagerly, her arms wrapping around his neck as she deepened the kiss.

E.E's hands roamed her back, pulling her even closer as their lips moved in perfect sync. Elevora's fingers threaded through his bushy hair, anchoring herself to him as the world outside faded away. The only thing that mattered was the here and now.

They broke apart for a moment, both breathing heavily. E.E looked into her eyes, his voice a whisper. "You're so beautiful..."

She smiled, her eyes shining with emotion. "You're beautiful too, E.E."

"That makes me feel girly..."

"It's okay for you to not act like Superman all the time."

She repeated E.E words to him, causing both of them to chuckle in response.

Their lips met again, more urgently this time. E.E's hands found the hem of her shirt, sliding under the fabric to touch her warm skin.

Elevora gasped softly at the sensation, her body arching into his touch. The kiss deepened, a fiery exchange that left them both breathless.

E.E guided her gently onto her back, his body covering hers as they continued to kiss.

The world outside ceased to exist, leaving only the two of them in their bubble of love and desire.

E.E's lips left hers, trailing kisses down her neck and collarbone. Elevora moaned softly, her hands gripping his shoulders as he worshipped her with his mouth. Every touch, every kiss, was a promise of his love and devotion...

Eventually, they lay tangled together unclad underneath the sheets. Their heavy breathing slowed as the intensity ebbed.

E.E held Elevora close, his fingers gently tracing patterns on her skin. Elevora nestled against him, her head resting on his chest once more.

"We'll find a way," E.E murmured, his voice filled with determination. "We'll clear Gustav's name and save Ria."

Elevora nodded, her eyes drifting closed. "I know we will. Together."

E.E kissed the top of her head, a smile playing on his lips. "Together..."

Back on planet Agon, the surroundings had returned to their serene state. The sky was a stunning gradient of purples and blues, the air was crisp and fragrant, and the landscape was a verdant paradise.

Gustav and Stark sat on a grassy knoll, surrounded by a feast brought by Celethial. The spread was vast, featuring succulent meats, vibrant fruits, and a variety of dishes that delighted the senses.

Celethial stood nearby, her presence adding to the surreal atmosphere. "Miss Aimee would always speak so fondly of you, Lord Gustav," she said with a soft smile. "She was incredibly proud of your achievements and always knew you would surpass any challenge set before you."

Gustav paused, a piece of fruit halfway to his mouth. "She talked about me that much?"

"All the time," Celethial confirmed. "She even mentioned some incidents and one of them was when your little thumb..."

"Stop! I think you've said enough," Gustav voiced with a wry smile.

'How could she tell them about that. Damn you miss Aimee!' Gustav cursed internally.

Stark, wiping his mouth with a cloth, leaned back with a contented sigh. "This food is incredible. I've never tasted anything like it."

Gustav nodded in agreement but his thoughts were elsewhere. After finishing their meal, Gustav turned to Celethial. "Do you have any idea where Miss Aimee is? Like her real physical form."

Celethial shook her head. "Our creator said she would reveal her location to you when the time was right. She instructed me to make sure you rest tonight. She will contact you when she's ready."

Gustav let out a sigh of resignation. "Alright. Thank you, Celethial."

As night fell, Gustav and Stark found themselves a comfortable spot to rest. The sky above was a display of twinkling stars, and the air was cool and refreshing.

Gustav lay on his back, staring up at the heavens, while Stark was already snoring softly beside him.

("Achieving the three in one golden body is a major feat. You should be proud of yourself... It's just as rare as achieving cosmic superiority,") the system's voice echoed in his mind.
