Almost immediately, a large shadow comes over John and stretches as far as he can see. The ground starts to swell and spasmodically twitch. He doesn't sense the telltale presence of magicules anymore, not for untold kilometers around.
Puppen sees a clean cross-section of the creature, with the hole appearing to lead outside of it. Abarim and Jake fly through with no complications, finding themselves in a large, red-tinted space. The background is visibly twitching and flowing. Abarim, Jack, and Yuna see Samson and Secundus not too far away, bombarding the creature with various attacks. From all around Stranger, a piercing scream suddenly emenates.
The combined attacks of Secundus and Samson start diminishing the creatures size, with it seemingly not doing anything to react. They both feel as though something is wrong.
The dual Gae Bolgs cover most of the remaining creature in red spikes, although this doesn't appear to do much on its own. The attacks are stopped by Meretrixs barrier, and seem to eventually stop.
Upon walking into the building, Solomon sees what appear to be pillars of flesh of varying size and shape. They all turn towards him before turning into more of the bands of light from before, although not quite as overwhelming.
Silas finds the light to be the reflection coming from a drop of water, but within it he sees hordes of people around him and on nearby buildings, seemingly watching him. After a short moment, they all dissipate into colored bands, like those formed from that lake creature, although not as overwhelming as before.

Solomon and Silas find themselves next to John and on top of what appears to be a hill of coagulated blood. In the distance, easily hundreds of kilometers away, they see a humanoid figure, although with various trailing appendages and covered in eyes.
Everyone feels an instinctive sense of malign and an unnatural lack of magicules outside of themselves. The bunker is gone, seemingly taken with the creature when it was destroyed.
