Chereads / The God of Flesh / Chapter 7 - Awakening

Chapter 7 - Awakening

A huge mound of pulsating flesh can be found in a hallway connecting to a metal wall with tendrils rooting into the wall. A pool of blood can be found around it, and the flashing of red lights illuminate everything. Time passes when suddenly the mass of flesh starts congealing in on place facing outwards before forming a blue eye. Looking left and right, it released 2 spikes of flesh and bones formed on the ground, and 4 tendrils blast out of it, grabbing the ceiling forcing itself up. The God quickly forms a large gaping maw of a mouth before letting out a fearsome roar shaking the entire metal hallway around it, giving every living creature in the complex a sense of unparalleled dread as something horrible is about to happen.

A blue screen appears in God's vision once more as it sees its newly acquired skill.

Looking at this, it quickly observed its surroundings. Seeing nothing has come, it lets out a mental sigh. 'Whew, it looks like I am still safe. I wonder how long that took.' It thought before trying to walk forward using its new legs and tendrils.

Slowly it tried to walk using one leg at a time, trying to move forward only when the first tendril let go to help stabilize itself. The spindly legs instantly shot back into its body before crashing down to the ground letting a loud squish. 'Seems as though walking is out of order. I will either need more legs to support myself, which involves more pain and passing out, or stick to crawling for the time being with my tendrils.' Quickly realizing what would be better for the time being, the god pulled itself up back into the vents before crawling forward, spreading itself out as much as possible, continuing down the hallway into the unknown.

Repeating patterns of nothing but blood splatters of blood and organs along the constant hallway with the same repeating steel doors. This continued for a while before he ran into one of the researchers with black hair and a scrunched face lying against the wall with his left arm missing at the base of the elbow and using his other arm to stop blood from flowing from a hole in the side of his body.

Slowly looking up, he spits up some blood from his mouth before a look of horror comes on his face seeing the large mass of pulsating flesh and tentacles looking down at him with its many blue eyes and mouths constantly opening and closing. tears start flowing from his eyes as he begins to say, "Really, after all this, I am going to die at the hands of that madman's work?" His breath becomes more ragged with every inhale.

"I worked here for 14 years, and this is what I get? If there is a god, I must say this is just a bad joke. I never should've taken this job." he said before he slowly gets up, eyes trained straight on the God of flesh standing before it. raising his remaining arm, blood begins flowing out of the wound, taking up a ragged fighting stance. "Come on, you bastard, I am ready for you!" as he forces a punch with the last of his strength towards the god, only for it to cause a slight ripple across it.

[HP -0 Enemy is too weak to cause any resounding damage using blunt force.]

[New skill acquired shock absorption level 1- host takes 5% less damage from blunt attacks]

The god looks down at this pitiful creature doing everything it can to fight back against its obscured circumstances. 'do I eat him, let him go? what do I do here?' is the only thing it can think of as it continues to get punched by the dying man.

'Welp, that takes care of that question,' The god of flesh thought, seeing the blue screen in front of it. It opened up its numerous mouths, ready to tear into the poor man when the lights started from going red to white, and a large mechanical floating orb with mini guns appeared out of one of the lighting fixtures above.

The only thing the God of Flesh could think of at that moment was, 'why can't I catch a break?'

A glass lens looks straight at the God with a robotic voice speaking "Biological life form detected, target not human, specimen unknown, will now commence termination of unknown life form." a lazer sight layed right down on the God.

'This is going to hurt'.

Author's note:

I apologize for everyone on the story and why it took so long. I had some more pressing issues to take care of when COVID-19 hit my life, and this story had to take the back seat for a while. I won't make the same promise again cause it is just too unrealistic that I will be able to push out a chapter every day. I have adjusted my work-life schedule only to get 6 hours of sleep now and do this in the mornings while doing my job in the afternoon. But if I am going, to be honest, I want this to be my job. I find nothing more peaceful than writing a story while listening to music in the background. I love jotting down notes daily on new monster ideas and different paths the story can take. I love the feeling of having people read the story I create and seeing how they react to it in real-time. You guys always surprise me with what you do or say in comments, and I hope you, the reader find this little universe I am creating enjoyable. I hope this story provides you with a reprieve from any problems you have in life, as I know how tough it can get out there.
