The border between the inner and outer city areas has been flooded with blood in the past week of fighting, literally.
Most of the blood belonged to strange beasts, and a small part came from humans. The corpses piled up under the city wall, making the originally sharp angle between the city wall and the ground much gentler, and even making it easier for strange beasts to climb up.
It’s not that the human side has not thought about cleaning up these corpses, but normally this should be done after the battle is over, and the current battle may never end.
As a result, corpses piled up like mountains, and the blood made of biomass slowly flowed out from the wounds, drops by drops gathered into streams, and finally even made a clear sound like a stream.
The outer city does not have complex sewers like the inner city, but there are also shallow surface drainage designs.
The blood continued to flow into the gutter on the street due to the height difference, flowing in all directions until it flowed into a drainpipe that had been dug up by someone, and flowed into a bottomless pit.
This is the masterpiece of the Lachesis puppets.
In this dark cave without light, something is constantly brewing, and even Lachesis himself is not quite sure what the product is.
After all, he is not Atropos, and his understanding of living things is still not comprehensive.
But fortunately, the final result did not disappoint Him.
In the deep mine, there are biomass from the planet, the bodies of nearly a hundred human puppets, the blood of countless strange beasts, and tree species from Kloto...
These things devoured each other and combined with each other, but it was impossible to determine the winner.
In the end, Lachesis chose remote control. He incorporated the extreme human emotions from Atropos' research results into this chaotic life form from the conscious level.
At this moment, this mass of things finally had a stable shape.
Then, the creature began to grow wildly by instinct, devouring and absorbing all the organic matter around it to replenish itself.
In a corner of the outer city where no one cares, at the deepest part of a mine, a giant black and purple tree rises from the ground, growing wildly like a fountain.
The surface of this giant tree has rough traces of plants, as well as various claws and feathers of strange beasts. From a distance, these features from plants and animals form distorted human faces, some of which look like fallen dreams, while others seem to be expressing uneasiness.
Relying on the connection between himself and the hundred puppets, Lachesis began to master this new creation bit by bit.
This giant tree is still growing, and its biofield density is even higher than that of Lachesis, which is mainly composed of tall grass.
It is for this reason that this giant tree is able to truly gain a foothold in the Outer City, rather than stopping outside the walls of the Outer City like the tall grass and the misty forest.
At this moment, this giant tree became the biofield repeater of Lachesis. With its help, the erosion power of Lachesis was once again strengthened.
Through the thick concrete walls, human emotions and thoughts were displayed to Lachesis without reservation.
He has been able to exert influence over humans close to the walls!
High-density population gathering can no longer eliminate the effect of His power, and Lachesis once again begins to secretly play with the minds of these humans.
He saw the old man huddled on the bed in the underground shelter and implanted the word "laziness" in his mind.
He saw the tired workers rotating through the factory and added a little bit of “anger” to their thinking.
He saw the soldiers who were resting and bandaging in the rear, and carefully guided the "pain" in their hearts.
These emotional seeds will subtly seduce these humans, like emotional bombs that will continue to grow until a certain opportunity comes and they explode.
With the help of the purple-black giant tree, Lachesis' main consciousness wandered freely on the edge of the inner city, watching everything that happened in the city through human eyes.
At a certain moment, a sub-consciousness of Lachesis invaded a human's brain and was able to share the human's vision.
At this moment, this human was looking up towards the height of the city wall. There, in the air, stood a man, and his body was disappearing bit by bit.
And beside him, countless tiny gray and black dots were smashing into the city with the sound of piercing through the air.
That was a rain of arrows shot by strange beasts.
At this moment, Lachesis noticed that there was almost endless fear in the human's heart.
A delicious, unforgettable fear.
Fear not only affects his mind, but also his body, affecting the hormones and muscles in his body.
At this moment, Lachesis did not choose to plant the seeds of emotion, but directly used the strong emotional fluctuations to erode and guide this body.
An eardrum-tearing scream rang out in this temporary shelter on the ground, and the glass of the nearest house shattered instantly.
At the moment before his consciousness was erased, Lachesis detonated the fear in this human's heart.
The biofield-level influence spread rapidly with the scream, like an uncontrollable plague. In the square of the refuge area, dozens of people instinctively felt a palpitation for a moment when they heard the scream, and Lachesis also took this opportunity to complete the erosion.
Then more screams were heard, and the sound waves influenced and overlapped each other. People's sanity was shattered by the screams, leaving only a superior consciousness controlling the ownerless bodies.

Luke heard the scream.
This is very unreasonable.
Not to mention that the well-trained soldiers and warriors on the city walls rarely make such meaningless sounds. The dozens of meters high city walls alone are enough to eliminate most of the sounds coming from below the city.
But now the screaming came, and that was an indisputable fact.
Luke knew that someone had seen the rain of arrows that was about to fall from the sky and realized that he might have no way to avoid it.
This is my own dereliction of duty.
But he still has a chance to make amends - he is willing to do anything to protect the people behind him, just like his father.
Ever since losing his right arm, Luke has been training his abilities to specialize in limb replacements.
He can change the shape of the shield created by his ability as much as possible, and can also use his ability to touch some things.
In the end, he used his own abilities to complete his body during the high-intensity training in the sewer.
Thanks to the exquisite craftsmanship of the "paperhanger", the fracture of his right arm and shoulder recovered very well. The newly grown flesh bulged slightly, allowing the arm formed by his ability to fit better with his body.
But it was just a fit. Luke's right arm and body were not one. He had gotten used to it, but at this moment, he found that the two were actually merging.
Luke accepted this change without any hesitation.
In the sky above the city wall, he turned into a soft light with lightning, merging with the protective shield of Hope City and blocking all the torrential rain of spikes.
