My Favorite place for Pathfinder Books
There’s many places to find source books for Pathfinder system, however DriveThruRPG has proven the most reliable over the years.

Check out their source book offerings here.

Bloodline

We are taking the Abyssal Bloodline, which will grant us a +6 Inherent bonus to our Strength

Demonic Corruption

The only power you really care about is taking the one that gives you a +2 Profane Bonus to Strength.

Fiendish Obedience

As you worship Zara, she lets you apply the Vampire Template on yourself a few minutes each day, granting you great bonuses to several ability scores, including a +6 in Strength.

Mythic Path

Frankly, the only things that are necessary for you to take here are the Generic Mythic Power that grants you a +2 to an Ability Score once. You take it twice, one for Intelligence, letting you cast 9th level spells, and once for Strength. Otherwise, I highly recommend Archmage.

Spells

We will specialize in Transmutation spells here, although nothing stops us from using Fireball really.

We want all the Form Spells, eventually grabbing the Form of the Dragon III one.

Equipment

We want to snag a Belt of Strength +6 here. Besides your Spellbook

Final Thoughts on the Build

We begin combat by imbibing our Mutagen from Ragechemist, casting Mythic Form of the Dragon III, and then Rage. Following that, we massacre everything in our path.

If you followed this build, your final Strength in your final form will be: 22

+3 levels

+2 Mythic

+2 Profane

+6 Inherent

+6 Enhancement

+14 Size

+6 Alchemical

+6 Zara

+6 Rage

Total: 73

Fighters will wish they were you, and with your Natural Attacks, you will deal so much damage it won’t even be funny for the enemy. And while not raging, you can cast up to 9th level spells letting you Gate, Meteor Swarm and other downright apocalyptic level spells, and as a Mythic character, you can cast their Mythic versions for spells capable of ending entire regions at once.
