After escaping from Jennifer, Derek stopped running and began walking through the halls of the Baxter building looking at the two blue notices he received.
-5 affection with Jennifer
+10 affection with Jennifer
When he saw the first notification he was regretting what he did to then smile when he saw the next one that appeared in front of him, that meant that Jen no longer via him as a horny teenager.
He went back to thinking about what he would have to do or plan in three days, he only had three days to plan how to get out of here somehow if there was Theo or Cerise it would be a very different situation.
The only good thing was that they were all already recovered, the other thing that came to his mind was to go by himself, that was something he could easily do but that was something he couldn't do.
Both Kamala, Cassie and Dante have equal or more right than him to be present in the last confrontation against AIM
(shit I should have asked the Elder for one of those rings to create portals, haa you can't cry over spilled milk) thought Derek.
Then the other problem was that this would be too dangerous for everyone he could bet all his money that Tarleton would bring out all the robots he had including his precious Adaptoids and his team still isn't strong enough to stand up against the Adaptoids.
Derek : "Well I have the engineer skill, blacksmith, runesmith, mana crafting and the quick learning perk, it's time to make them all shine together and I'll use one of the hundreds of adaptoids in inventory so Lucy can fight by my side."
Two hours later Derek was in the training room but not only was he there, there was also Kamala, Cassie and Dante watching him waiting for him to speak.
Derek : "Well before I tell them, Lucy please take care of the cameras create an environment as if we were training, they must have already become suspicious just because we are all here"
He asked Lucy who was on his shoulder connected to the building's security system and created images of Derek and the rest training in the area, managing to fool Yelena who was watching them.
Lucy: "Now you can talk without any worries."
Derek nodded and looked at the rest
Derek : "Alright since no one will know what we are talking about here I will get straight to the point" he paused for a moment as he looked at them
"The avengers plan to launch an all out attack against AIM trying to take Tarleton by surprise who plans to launch dark terrigen clouds and then release his stupid adaptoids" everyone was surprised by what Derek said.
Cassie : "But why haven't Susan or the rest of them told us about this" asked Cassie.
"That's because all the Avengers asked them not to tell us anything, they think with what happened last time we shouldn't get involved anymore" replied Derek.
"They can't decide that for us, we have fought side by side, we bled together, we lost loved ones, important to us and now they don't want us involved" shouted Dante upset remembering what all happened.
Derek : "I understand that you are upset Dante, I am too but I also admit that they are right, we are not strong enough to face the whole army of synthezoids and adaptoids that Tarleton has in his power" argued Derek, Dante listening to him calmed down a little understanding that Derek was right.
"So what is it that what you have planned to do, I don't think you brought us and tell us all this without having any plan in mind Derek" said Kamala, he smiled listening to her and winked making her blush a little.
Derek : "Of course I have a plan to make you'll as strong as possible in three days."
"And what is the plan Chief if we may know" asked Cassie reaching over and touching his chest with her finger and sliding it flirtatiously, earning a bit of a wild grin from Derek and not wanting her to tease him.
He grabbed her and wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her to him, making their breaths touch their faces.
Derek moved to her ear and spoke as close as he could "I will make special armor and equipment for each of you and for that I will need to take all your body measurements Cassie"
She blushed and pulled away hard due to embarrassment not before hitting his chest with her fist and walking away "Fool"
She returned to her original position next to Kamala who was smiling amusedly at her "What?".
Kamala : "Nothing, it's just funny to see you blush Cassie when you're the one who wanted to embarrass him."
"Hmp so says the person who was always embarrassed by the way I talk ten straight, besides you shouldn't be upset that that happened" Cassie replied quietly just so the two of them could hear.
Kamala just smiled fondly and said nothing looking back at Derek, Cassie at this raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
"Good I will continue where we left off, before a little person interrupted us" he looked at Cassie who looked down blushing
Derek : "I will continue, I plan to create new and updated equipment for each of you"
What followed was to take the measurements of each one to perfection separately, when it was the turn of the girls he controlled himself as much as he could only to after finishing take out a cold potion and return to normal, after everyone left.
He started to take out the synthezoids and the Minotaur Axe already thinking about the new equipment he would make Dante the first thing he did is to use observe on the axe which he wanted to melt and reuse as material due to its durability.
A touch of surprise appeared on Derek's face when he saw the description that appeared in his sight while looking at the gem embedded in the Axe.
*Minor Crystal of the Fire Elemental Ifrit*.
Effect 1: Increases resistance to each type of fire element by 20%.
Effect 2: Increases control and manipulation of the fire element.
Seeing the description without hesitation he took the crystal from the Axe
Derek : "Ready with this I have what I need to make an armor that will not only protect Dante, but also help her to control her powers to a great extent"
Without further ado he began to assemble a furnace, then an anvil and finally he created a hammer, all created with Absorbent metal.
Fully concentrated, he began to melt the Minotaur Axe in the furnace, he waited for it to melt and solidify, then he put the metal back into the furnace while he manipulated the flames looking for the exact spot to hammer it.
Until he found it and began to hammer, in the whole room the only thing that could be heard were the sounds of hammering by Derek who was shaping the metal trying to reproduce as much as possible the image he had in his mind until he achieved all this taking him exactly 3 hours.
Derek : "Now what's next is the crystal"
He grabbed the crystal very carefully inserting it into the hole he had left in the chest, he covered his finger with metal extending his fingernail to start writing runes making the energy of the crystal run through the armor "Phew it took me some time".
Lucy: "It would have been easier if you would've used your power on the metal."
Derek : "I didn't, as I always have because I am not yet familiar with this unfamiliar metal, although I have used my metal manipulation to shape it at every hammering, but now that I am more familiar I can do it easier"
System: [This metal is known as Big metal Heart or Metal Heart, it is known for its great conductivity with magic and other types of energies User.]
'Mm An interesting metal that's why it was easy to work with this metal and my flames'- he thought looking at the black metal plate armor.
"Alright time to do the finishing touches" Derek put his hand on the armor, he began to pour hand on it activating the mana crafting ability imagining the armor functions and increasing its effects.
He imagined it adapting to the wearer with a great increase in defense and regeneration along with enhancing fire based attacks, the armor glowed for a few seconds
Derek : "Now if I will use my powers on you baby"
Touching the armor again with his hand he uses Reinforcement on the armor increasing its durability.
Ting
Congratulations the Mana Crafting skill has been raised to Level 2.
Congratulations the Mana Crafting skill has been raised to Level 6.
Host have acquired the Title Creator of the Unique: Increases the effectiveness of all forging or crafting skills and activities by 20%.
He looked at the three notifications he received, surprised by the last notification which was a Title, then used to look at the forged armor.
*Ifrit's Lesser Black Armor* (Rank: Unique)
A masterpiece created by a Beginner blacksmith, made from a Hearts metal, this armor is focused on defense, energy regeneration and aiding Fire based attacks. Fully adapted to its user.
Durability: 4,000
Defense: 150%.
Effect 1: Resistance to any Fire element.
Effect 2: Increased control and manipulation of fire-based powers by 50%.
Effect 3: Fire-based attacks increase by 20%.
"Fuck this is what you meant they are very conductive for mana and other types of energy" he complained looking at the beautiful finished black armor in his hands before putting them away in his inventory, from there he made metallic gauntlets made entirely of absorbing metal in which two blades in each gauntlet came out as retractable claws with a thought, in them he used Reinforcement and put the Runes.
Rune of control: Absorption, release and shield.
Rune of Wrath: +25% of Attack
Rune of Ifrit: +20% Fire Attacks
"Ready with this Dante won't have to worry about passing out when using his powers" stated Derek putting the gauntlets away in his inventory
"Let's go with the next one" which was Cassie's suit, looking at the holes and blood on the suit he remembered when she was injured by Abomination trying to protect him.
"Haa I'm an idiot, but for another time" he smacked his cheeks and started to think of something that would help Cassie, since she was a melee combatant he thought of creating a defense and attack based outfit for her, then he looked at the syntezoid bodies
Derek : "This could work if I use the Pym technology but I don't have the technology here to apply it, except for this vial with Pym particles" he whispered trying to find a way to apply the technology on Cassie's suit.
"Maybe if I use the adaptability rune along with these Pym Particles I can make it adapt to the user and mana elaboration to apply it when she grows up" he thought out loud imagining the pros and cons of this.
System: [That would be feasible host, but that would decrease the durability of the equipment.]
Seeing the approval given by the system he began to disassemble and study the syntezoids on a table was the arm of a supreme armored syntezoid which has an energy shield equipped.
It took him only an hour to understand how the shield worked, already having experience in arming high tech armor thanks to Tony.
He put together an external armor for an arm with a first generation Ark Reactor that he took from another syntezoid and installed in the forearm, which would energize the shield generators also energize the arm increasing the strength of that limb, organizing, programming and eliminating some commands from the syntezoids from his laptop with the help of Lucy.
System: [Hacking and Programming sub-skills have been added to Engineer.]
Next was absorbent metal armor for the chest and vital areas, used Reinforcement on both arm and armor, next was writing runes on both arm and armor.
-Armor
Rune of life: +20% of life
Rune Carapace: +50% of defense
Rune of Battle: +10% Physical attacks
Rune of Adaptability
-Battle Arm
Rune of Control: Absorption and Liberation
Rune of Wrath: +25% of Attack
Rune of Adaptability
"Now the final touch" he put his hands on the armor along with the vial of Pym Particles and on the arm concentrating his mana on them imagining them adapting and growing according to the size Cassie's body would take, the mana began to overflow and be absorbed by the equipment at a great rate for a few minutes and the light disappeared, what appeared in Derek's eyes as he used observe on them made him smile.
Giant's Armor (Single Rank)
War Giant's right arm (Unique Rank).
"Haha the magic is amazing, it adapted so perfectly to the technology" next was Kamala's equipment which was just the gloves he had given her earlier, he looked at them for a moment noticing how worn they were the only thing special about them was the metal they were made of and the Adaptability and Control rune engraved on them.
"Alright let's get started" taking them in his hand he began to use the powers of the Metal Dragon returning the gauntlets to their optimal state from there he disassembled the arms of an elite synthezoid.
Once he removed the laser weapon from the robot he enhanced them with absorbent metal improving the performance of these and adapted them to Kamala's gauntlets.
The next thing he created for Kamala was a breastplate made of two different metal layers, the first one of titanium for its resistance and hardness, the other layer is made of very concentrated wolfram to increase the hardness of the breastplate, the next thing was to use reinforcement in the two equipments to increase the durability by 50% and to put Runes in the gauntlets.
-Gauntlets
Rune of Battle: +10% Physical Attacks
Rune of Piercing: +15% Critical Damage
With that Kamala, Cassie and Dante's were ready to enter the Battle that was coming in three days thought Derek putting away the equipment he had created for them.
The next thing was to think about the next part of his plan, he put away all the synthezoids and replaced them with one of the adaptoids he had put in his inventory when he infiltrated the AIM base with Natasha.
Up to here.
