Chapter 3 - Chapter 2. It feeds

Scientists just stare at the lump of flesh on the floor as it just spreads out around the ground. 'Damn it, it was easier to move in the liquid, how am I going to move on land?' It struggled to focus on keeping itself together.

While the red flesh constantly squirmed around constantly moving up and down as the scientists stare looking at it one of them asking, "What room are we in right now?" Another one speaks up furthest from the group. "This is the subject 3847 space, supposedly it is supposed to be used as a base for other experiments."

Hearing their conversation the creature's blue eye looks directly at the passed-out man on the floor. 'Regardless I need to eat or I am going to die.' it thought managing to make a small section move towards them.

"Hey, is it just me did it just move?" one of the injured scientists asked propping himself against the against a metal console focusing all his attention on the creature in front. "No clue but it shouldn't be able to survive outside the tank for long." one of them said a few feet from the creature "regardless we should try keeping our distance from it as much as possible until help arrives." With that said they appeared to get ready to move when the guy passed out started coughing up blood.

"Damn it not now." the attending to the unconscious man scientist said, "his lungs must've been punctured in the crossfire, he isn't going to make it unless we get him to the medical ward." pushing him to the side trying to make sure he does not choke on his own blood.

The creature observes them while trying to find a way to move. 'This may be my only chance to sate this hunger, I won't let anything stand in my way!' with that thought it feels parts of itself tearing from the central mass forming a large red fleshy tentacle rising up attaching to floor before it gripes on tightly pulling itself forward.

[New ability Flesh manipulation Level 1- Host can now create tentacles for locomotion current limit 1]

"Holy shit, it moved it is coming this way!" one of them shouted looking in terror as the others turned their heads seeing the creature started to move.

"Not enough, they are fast I need more limbs!" the creature thought feeling another tearing sensation creating another allowing to drag itself across the floor faster towards the crowd of researchers.

[Flesh manipulation Level 2- Host can now create tentacles for locomotion current limit 2]

The researchers started to turn towards back to the door running there. "Is there a way to open this door?" one of them asks "Not unless you want to get gunned down by the soldiers." A scream comes out from the formerly passed out man on the ground is grabbed by an large tentacle and is being dragged.

Feeling himself being dragged he awoke from his daze seeing the huge lump of flesh dragging him towards it before screaming "Help me!" At that moment all the researchers looked in terror at as the creature dragged their coworker.

"At last I can eat" the God thinks to itself latching onto its first victim. It finally develops a huge mouth surrounded hundreds of human teeth and bone fragments. The tentacles slowly pull the scientist as he desperately scraps his hands against the ground screaming.

One of the scientist gets out of his daze returning to reality before running out and grabbing his colleges arm shouting "Don't just stand there help me save him!" Doing everything he can to pull him away.

They all got out of their dazed and panicked stakes before coming to help pull the scientist away from the creature as hard as they could. They either grabbed at one of his arms or pulled on another person already on.

'Guess I got to take the leader out first if I am going against this many scientists.' with that the creature lets the scientist go causing all of them to tumble across the floor in shock. Just when they were about to move it grabs the first scientist to act lifting him up into the air and into its large mouth.

Everyone in the room could not react in time when they heard a huge crunch as the body was crushed inside the creature's large metamorphic mouth as it started eating. Just staring in shock as it ate their once former comrade. Meanwhile, notifications start popping up in front of the creature.

The creature pleased at these new when it's vision split allowing it to see more of the room around it. 'Seems as this would be a very useful ability as I grow and develop.' leaving that thought in mind it then focused its attention on the other scientists as they while cowered dragging the injured man to the door.

"Is there a way for us to open to door?!?" one of the scientists screamed. "I will need five minutes to get us out." the one closest to the door said looking at the creature which had grown larger dripping blood from its first kill when another one says "I don't think we got five minutes."

"I need a way to take them all out in one go before I can take my time eating them." The creature looks around and sees the container that had once imprisoned it and the spark of an idea came to its mind.

Using its two tendrils it sticks one into the ground while using the other tendril to grab the pod which once contained it. The creature then started pulling it as hard as it could, tearing the final bolts and slabs of metal-containing it.

"oh god." was the only thing one of the scientists said before the pod came hurling at them turning four of them into either a red paste or bisected leaving the injured two the only ones who were on the ground.

One of which starts laughing hysterically fully aware that they are all dead as the creature approaches to eat them. Dragging itself with its tendrils across the floor towards them it once again develops a mouth with jagged teeth and dines upon the flesh and bones of its prey as they screamed while their lives were taken.
