'I am not dying like this!' is all the God thought about as a wave of bullets starts heading after it in the narrow hallway. It rapidly moves up and down left and right back and forth using its four tendrils as fast as it can to dodge the never-ending waves of bullets, all the while forming mouths to help block the incoming projectiles with bones. Waves of both pain and messages from the blue screen as it saw its health slowly trickle down with each passing moment.

Not knowing what to do, it did the only thing it felt as though it would help it survive 'this is going to hurt.' it thought as it abandoned all thoughts of defending itself and pulled itself towards the floating death orb, forming a vast gaping maw with endless rows of human-like teeth ready to chomp down on the assailant. When suddenly a white light appeared out of nowhere, right between the God and the detestable orb, and the pain of thousands of needles sprung out the second it made contact with it, causing the God to jolt backward in pain.
[Host has been stunned for 2 seconds from electric shield]
Unable to move, it could only watch as dozens of bullets penetrate its writhing body, the sounds of shots hitting flesh permeating the hallway. The only thing it could do was watch as its health slowly drain away as its eyes scramble all around, looking in all directions.
[Host has leveled up pain tolerance, reducing pain by 10%] (For those who don't understand, it reduces the intensity of the pain felt like instead of feeling it and distracting, it becomes aware enough that it has taken damage while focusing on the task at hand)

Desperately trying to find a way out, it got a quick glimpse of the researcher trying to hide as best as possible behind the steel pillar trying to escape the view of the machine also seems to look for a way out. Puzzled by this reaction from the researcher trying to hide from the flying orb of death more than itself.

The bullets suddenly stop, and the sounds of clicking could be heard from the death orb. Finally, not having the blue screen blocking its vision or the shots taking out its eyes, the God could see the ventilation shaft above it. An idea springs forth as it figures out a way to escape its current crisis.
[Host is no longer stunned remaining hp 937/1982]
[Host has gained shock-resistance level 1 - reduces stun time by 5%]
Taking the opportunity as the God quickly reformed its tendrils, it quickly grabbed the man with one of them before forcing itself through the large ventilation shaft with the in grasp. 'Time to use that new skill.' the God thought as it moved in through the man's wound. The man screamed as the God forced itself in, causing the man's body to grow larger and larger slowly. Veins start bursting, and muscles and bones ear apart as the researcher screams, "oh God, somebody help me," before his lungs start filling up as well. Tears of blood start coming out as his eyes start popping out of his skull. His abdomen expands at an inhuman level as the God adds 2 tons to the man's body.
[Does the Host want to activate parasitic replication? y/n]
Selecting yes, the God quickly felt a part of itself splitting off and regenerating from the site. All the flesh from the researcher begins flowing into the new split-off part of itself. All the bones, organs, and muscles were directly going into it. If seen from the outside, a large ball with a smaller ball growing from it and all the color of the formerly white skin started turning grey before finally cracking and breaking apart like paper revealing one large mass of writhing flesh and one small pack of writhing flesh. Blue eyes quickly form on the large mound of writhing flesh while the smaller one 1/15 of the size of the larger one with one yellow eye appeared.
[Host has successfully replicated]
[Parasitic replication leveled up - Host can now create two new weaker versions of itself from an infected individual.]
[Hive mind activated- the Host can now communicate and share experiences with the clone. The Host can also order creations to follow basic commands within a 10-meter radius.]
[The Host has completed the quest and rewarded five exp]
Not wasting any time the God quickly grabbed the newly created entity and threw it down the hole. Not sure if it would work or not, it thought, 'buy me time.' Almost immediately, the small clone formed a single tentacle grabbing the nearby wall and forced itself to move as a wave of bullets could once again be heard shooting.
The God looked down for a moment seeing the newborn struggle to dodge the never-ending stream of bullets. The only thing it could think was, 'please stay alive.' As it moved in, the vents trying to get above it, making as little noise as possible. It slowly pulled itself forward in the vents when it heard a little screech echoing in the hallway and the sounds of bullets getting louder as it gets closer to the source. With the sound getting at its most piercing point, the God creates little mouths and began munching on the below it, quickly creating holes, allowing itself some vision seeing the drone below it focusing fire on its creation. Not wasting any time, the God raises itself as high as it could in the shaft creating a massive maw of teeth before it slammed itself down, breaking through. Time seems to slow down for a minute as the shards of metal glisten as sparks of electricity began forming.
'Not this time.' the God thinks as a tendril comes out of its maw, grabbing the drone pulling it in before it can shock it once more before a loud crunch of metal could be heard as the God bites deeply into the metal as the machine breaks apart. The drone breaks apart, revealing its inner parts and mechanisms inside it as thousands of tiny minor parts and bullets come out of it before suddenly something like a piece of glass crack before letting out a small explosion charred the God.
[Host has taken damage from reactor core -379 hp]
[Host has 558/1982 hp remaining]
[Host has lost 78 pounds of flesh hp permanently reduced by 78lbs]
[Host has 558/1904 hp remaining]
Feeling sore as thousands of parts and metal shards were blasted into it, lets out a low groan from the numerous maws on it. Just taking a moment to rest, it hears the low growling coming from somewhere else, seeing the little clone of itself half the size it used to be slowly crawling now with two tendrils towards the God of flesh, its creator. With the same question as to when it first woke, 'What is my name?'

Thanks for reading this chapter, everyone. If you want to see how I write, I stream myself writing almost every day now at www.twitch.tv/LethalEternal at 6:30 A.M. est. As to why it is so early in the morning, it is because that is the only time I have right now. If you are a new author or are interested in what exactly it is like to write a story, I recommend going there, where I will do my best to explain from my own perspective.
Also, for those of you who like some spoilers and want to see some monster ideas or support my work pls go to a certain donation website and do /LethalEternal at the end. (webnovel always censors it.) It helps pay for my college education so I can improve my writing skills.
