A small creature — almost identical to the one Kim had previously warned about — appeared suddenly at the outskirts of the compound.
Ethan Blake spotted it immediately and filed an urgent report to headquarters, highlighting the severity of the situation.
Adolf, still managing affairs from his sickbed, ordered Reese Carter to investigate the creature.
Carter, always eager for strange research, accepted the mission enthusiastically.
Meanwhile, Adolf made a decisive move:
he gathered all the rebels, led by Lilith Moore, and commanded Ethan to carry out their execution.
As the sentence was announced, the rebels burst into tears and despair.
Lilith cried out furiously:
> "This is injustice! This will not be forgiven, Adolf!"
Adolf replied coldly:
> "Anyone who betrays the Empire forfeits their right to speak — or live."
Suddenly, Lilith's eyes turned blood-red, her skin darkened to pitch black, and thick smoke began to swirl around her.
Ethan instinctively stepped back as Adolf, driven by pure instinct, unsheathed his sword and slashed through the smoke.
In one swift, brutal strike, he severed half of Lilith's body.
Although hybrids had incredible regenerative abilities, a wound of that magnitude was fatal.
Lilith tried to flee at full speed — but once again, Adolf's sword caught her, ending her life once and for all.
Yet, the battle left Adolf drained, and he collapsed to the ground, weakened by wounds he hadn't yet recovered from.
However, the real danger wasn't over:
There were canine spies hidden among humans.
The horrifying truth was clear:
The dogs had evolved to a level of intelligence equal to — if not greater than — mankind.
Despite his condition, Adolf continued to command from his bed under the strict supervision of Nilüfer, who forbade him from recklessly moving.
During this critical time, Nourredine stepped up to act as Adolf's right-hand man.
He swiftly executed the remaining rebels, established a strict internal police force, and founded a vast intelligence agency to monitor every move inside the growing territories.
Later, Adolf summoned Carter again, demanding a way to infiltrate the ranks of the hostile dogs.
Carter, smiling darkly, proposed a plan so daring it bordered on insanity.
A plan no sane man would easily accept —
but Adolf, understanding the brutal world they now lived in, agreed without hesitation.
In this new age of monsters, only madness could ensure survival.
