The human body is made of billions of cells and in each cell, are genes that contains instruction to manipulate and command the cells on what to do.
Lucifer's situation was extremely precarious. He hadn't even sensed that their might be monsters with the lab.
In the blink of an eye, the large alligator type creature opened its mouth wide and chomped down at Lucifer's head.
Time seem to pause and the surrounding darkness engulfing them. The eerie darkened was deafening. Enticing smell of death lingered in the atmosphere as the taste of rotten egg floated in the air like a compound of floating ghosts.
At that moment, Lucifer's muscles trembled imperceptibly, buzzing so loudly one could hear the humming sound of his muscles spamming.
On instinct, Lucifer immediately activated [Light Feet]. His cells immediately listened to the command of the gene and in that instant, the strengthened cells which made up the entirety of his legs immediately got agitated as they bounced of each other, against each other, producing heat, energy as well as a sudden burst of pure power.
But it wasn't enough to get Lucifer out of danger! The maw of the beast was rapidly getting closer to him, he was still very slow!
"Dammmit! Move!" Lucifer roared in like a cornered wild beast.
Something unexpected happened so
suddenly. The thousands of cells and dead cells that was beneath his feet vibrated at an extreme level and it reached its limit, they exploded violently, sending shockwaves down Lucifer's feet.
This generated shockwaves created massive amount of force at the bottom of his feet.
"Bam!"
The ground beneath his feet cracked with muffled sound, spreading for three meters.
Upon this shocking reaction, Lucifer gained a momentarily massive boost in speed. His body jerked sideways like a doll whose strings had been tugged.
As Lucifer moved, the maw of the creature snapped at his previous spot, a centimeter away from his head, crushing only just air.
Whoosh!
His speed was so fast that all he saw was a blur before crashing against the metal wall with a loud bang, leaving a human shaped deformation on the iron wall.
"Roooar!"
Sensing that the enemy had escaped, the beast was furious an immediately attacked where the sound had comes from. Lucifer was still disorientated by the crash. He could sense a certain weakness that engulfed his right leg. It wasn't shocking as he had overloaded his cells to produce power that was beyond his normal capability! Moreover, some of his cells had exploded therefore, it would take some time for his other cells to reproduce and replicate before healing from his injury.
"Boom!"
A claw swiped through the air. The wind generated by the claw made Lucifer squint his eyes. He slapped forcefully at the metallic wall, using the resultant force, he dropped to the ground, flatlike a pencil all the while rolling away from his previous position.
The cells within his eyes activated and he could now see the body of the creature. It's body was brimming with a disgusting yellowish color, giving off miasma of toxic genes that seem to strengthen its body.
The monster had a human shape, and layers of stacked muscles could be seen on his body, seemingly looking like tumors. The muscles were also rotting. There were even holes at certain areas, and plump maggots could be seen crawling around the rotting meat.
Compared its massive body, the head and neck of the creature were especially small. The skin of the monster was stretched tight by the muscles. The face of the creature also looked disproportionate. Looking at his face, one would automatically think of an alligator's face and a human face combined together.
The shocking fact was still its humanoid shape. While the creature's height is approximately an inch higher than Lucifer, it's alligator-like head was significantly bigger.
"Mutated human!" Lucifer's heart shook. He had heared several stories of people who didn't have the luxury of using the * Cell-dispelling * drug, unwilling to be ordinary for life and at the mercy of others, they implant and graft various organs and genes into their body, making them some sort of abomination!
Lucifer just didn't think he would meet one at this place! Was this the reason why they locked the lab down? Was the main purpose of their mission? to confirm whether or not the monster had gotten lose? What about Michael? The reason he came here might actually be related to the mutated creature.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The creature Bagan trashing all over the lab like a maniac, it's body crushing steels as though they were soft lead.
Lucifer inhaled deeply at such power. This creature had definitely surpassed the three layers of strength but then his eyes suddenly twinkled. The creature couldn't see him despite being in the same room.
Night blindness? Was it also a defect of the mutation. Lucifer gathered his body and his strength as he stood up in a half-duck stance, careful not to make any slight noise.
Soon, the creature eventually gave up trashing everywhere as it couldn't find its prey any longer. Feeling relieved he wouldn't have to fight against this monstrosity, Lucifer glanced at the passage way. The door in each room had been destroyed, deformed into nothing more than steel rubble.
This allowed for Lucifer to see through the place, and with his enhanced eye sight, he was able to scan through the room. Ultimately, he wasn't able to find anything.
Lucifer contemplated on whether he should move out to avoid the danger of the Mutant but then, he thought of what reward he might gain from this.
From experience, he had learnt that with great danger comes a fantastic reward. He could chose to leave now and save himself the struggle between life and death. But he could also go ahead and face any danger before him. If he survives he gets the reward and if he doesn't, he would die.
He had been a cowards for more than half a year which gave him nothing but when he chose to risk his life, he had been advancing time and time again.
