THE GARDENER WALKS AMONG US 4

Hyper-realistic 8K rendering, Unreal Engine style. At the center of a desecrated, overgrown field stands a woman in a ceremonial white dress, now defiled with handprints and blood sigils. Her eyes closed, she chants. Surrounding her, dozens of plant-zombies—once human, now grown over with sentient vines, fungal rot, and exposed muscle. Gnarled mouths scream silently, tongues like petals, teeth jagged like roots. Small children in red robes form a broken circle—some praying, others twitching, several possessed, with roots growing from their eyes and mouths. Blood-streaked symbols carved into the earth, glowing faintly. Red smoke leaks from eyes of all corrupted beings. Above, a black sun pulses. In the distance, The Gardener lifts a blade of bone. Ancient ritual, botanical horror, occult apocalypse.
