Warframe Voidwalker : Multiverse Journey

A few weeks later, Marcus was sitting in the future Batcave surrounded by all kinds of high-tech equipment, crafting some special items.

Meanwhile, Bruce and Selina were in the courtyard, sparring intensely with each other.

Of course, there were still differences between the two of them. Bruce had learned more and was the type who could effectively attack with any weapon he picked up. Selina, on the other hand, didn't care much for swords but had chosen several specific fighting styles to master.

At the moment, Bruce wore boxing gloves on both hands, using the cold and furious techniques Marcus had taught him to launch one attack after another against Selina.

Selina had also mastered these fighting skills and was constantly swinging her boxing gloves to block Bruce's attacks.

"If that's all you've got, you'll never beat me!"

Perhaps because she was a girl, Selina was more flexible than Bruce. Although his punches were very fast, Selina could handle them with relative ease.

"Really? Then how about this!"

Bruce smiled, stepped with nimble footwork, and suddenly his attacks became faster and more unpredictable.

The sudden increase in speed, combined with Bruce's improved movement, made it impossible for Selina to defend as easily as before.

Selina took a defensive stance, blocked Bruce's fist with her right arm, then countered with a punch of her own.

Boom!

Facing Selina's counterattack, Bruce stepped back lightly, successfully dodging her fist, then suddenly spun around with a kick that blocked Selina's incoming leg.

Clap, clap, clap...

Alfred, watching from the sidelines, applauded. Both Bruce and Selina had made tremendous progress, which was something the old butler hadn't expected.

"Master Bruce, Miss Selina, that's enough training for today!"

After applauding, Alfred brought out towels, suggesting the two take a break.

They were only teenagers still in their physical development phase. They couldn't undergo such high-intensity training in these fighting skills for too long.

Neither of them objected. They took the towels Alfred offered and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

"Alfred, is Marcus still in there?" Bruce asked while drying off.

"Yes, young master," Alfred nodded. "Mr. Marcus is still inside. He appears to be working on something."

Marcus hadn't told them what he was doing. All they knew was that he was incredibly busy every day, and the equipment shipped from Wayne Enterprises was constantly running.

No one knew exactly what Marcus was up to, and he hadn't shared any details about his work in the Batcave.

"I wonder what he's working on. Maybe he'll leave once he finishes those tasks."

At this thought, Bruce's mood visibly darkened. He really didn't want Marcus to leave.

"Adults always have to go eventually. But didn't he promise he'd come back to see you often?"

Selina tried to comfort him. She also had complicated feelings about Marcus. While she didn't see him as family the way Bruce did, she respected him deeply.

Moreover, she had received Marcus's guidance and learned many fighting skills, which made her grateful to him.

Meanwhile, the Marcus they were discussing was crafting amplitude crystals in the Batcave.

He had enough amplitude crystals before, so he hadn't made extras. Now he planned to make more—partly to strengthen his current equipment, and partly to fuse amplitude crystals into several items as gifts for Bruce and the others.

Of course, making amplitude crystals was no small feat. Even with the equipment shipped from Wayne Enterprises, his manufacturing progress wasn't much faster.

"Hmm... maybe I should give them a few amp crystals with pressure point enhancement?"

The basic amplitude crystals were divided into three categories: red copper, silver, and gold. The manufacturing difficulty increased with each tier. As a red copper crystal, the pressure point enhancement was relatively simple to create, which would greatly reduce Marcus's workload and allow him to produce more amplitude crystals faster.

Beyond the basic red copper, silver, and gold amplitude crystals, there were also more specialized variants, including high-level platinum crystals and crystal-like rift crystals.

However, these special crystals were still technically beyond Marcus's current capabilities. It took considerable effort just to make a gold crystal now.

"If these basic crystals are already this difficult, what will I do when I need to make special crystals in the future?"

Marcus, in the middle of crafting an amplitude crystal, fell into deep thought. These basic amplitude crystals were already so complex—it was hard to imagine how challenging it would be to create a rift crystal.

"Looks like I need to build that fabrication chamber as soon as possible."

With a fabrication chamber, he could easily make amplitude crystals, weapons, equipment, and even ammunition supplies.

Of course, before building the fabrication chamber, he would need a spaceship first.

"I should find time to visit Howard and see if my spaceship is ready."

After these wandering thoughts, a red copper amplitude crystal took shape in his hands.

[Pressure point +120% melee damage]

"Perfect, I'll fuse this into the dagger."

He planned to give both Selina and Bruce a dagger each. Daggers were among the easiest weapons to carry, making them ideal self-defense gifts.

As for Alfred, the old butler was already getting on in years, so a pistol seemed more appropriate for him.

As time passed, more amplitude crystals formed in his hands. A month later, Marcus finally emerged from the Batcave.

"Alfred, where are those two?"

Seeing no sign of Bruce and Selina in the study, Marcus looked at Alfred, who was organizing documents.

"The young master and Miss Selina are training in the courtyard." Alfred smiled upon seeing Marcus leave the Batcave.

Marcus handed Alfred the pistol the butler often used. This pistol had been fused with a wasp stinger that increased its damage output. The bullets fired from it now had 220% more destructive power.

"This is for you. Be careful when using it."

Bruce and Selina were still training in the courtyard. Compared to a month ago, their fighting techniques had become cleaner and more efficient.

There were constant muffled sounds as they sparred. Both the frequency and variation of their attacks had greatly improved.

Clap, clap, clap...

Marcus smiled and applauded, the sound drawing their attention.

"Marcus, you're out!"

Bruce looked over in surprise. This was the first time he had seen Marcus emerge from the cave in the past month.

Selina was equally surprised. She hadn't expected Marcus, who had buried himself in that strange cave, to finally come out.

"Yes, and these are weapons for both of you."

With that, he placed two gleaming daggers on the courtyard table.

The daggers immediately captured their attention. Even from a distance, they could sense how incredibly sharp the blades were.
