Capítulo 160: Dietrich's Demand

I stood there, utterly speechless, my mind spinning with confusion and fear. All I could do was glance desperately between my men and Dietrich, searching for some semblance of help or guidance.

Dietrich, however, seemed oblivious to my silent plea. He turned to my men, spreading his arms wide as if he were a king addressing his court. "I have gathered you all here to witness the transformation of the man I have chosen to mold, to see him embrace his destiny and carry the burden of a humans' life upon his shoulders!" His proclamation hung heavy in the air, casting a pall of dread over the assembled company.

The eerie silence of the abandoned factory amplified the weight of Dietrich's words, enveloping us in a chilling stillness. Each of us, immobilized by a cocktail of fear and uncertainty, felt the creeping tendrils of nerves constricting our every movement.
