Roaming through the world of Doraemon

"Daixiong, are you alright?" Miyako asked with concern.

Nobita shook his head and said slowly, "I'm fine. Luckily you blocked that attack for me, otherwise I would have been in danger. Thank you, Miyako."

Miyako blushed slightly, avoiding looking Nobita in the eye; a strange, inexplicable feeling was growing within her.

"And now?" Miyako suddenly remembered that the Demon World Star was still falling.

"Let's go out now, find Doraemon, and go back to the past." Nobita felt that the Demon King's words must be related to the hero who wrote down the history of the Demon World, but he couldn't figure out the connection. If he didn't kill the Demon King, his only option was to use the time machine to go back in time and stop the day when the "what if" phone booth was taken out.

Chapter 41 Medusa's Pursuit

Nobita flew directly out of the castle on Miyako's flying carpet. He defeated all the demons he encountered along the way with magic. After successfully arriving at the castle's outskirts, Nobita saw Doraemon's conspicuous giant hot air balloon frantically attacking the dragon-riding demons in the sky. The hot air balloon was equipped with many weapons, and the demons were unable to deal with this suddenly appearing hot air balloon for the time being.

Many demons were shot down by the weapons on the hot air balloon.

Nobita led Miyako directly around the area where the demon was located and arrived at the place where they had planned to meet up with Doraemon.

"Is this the place?" Miyako asked, supporting the still-breathing Mangetsu as she gazed at the cave before her.

Da Xiong nodded and then quickly walked inside.

"Come on, you damned demons, you can't beat my hot air balloon! Come on, let's see how many of you are not afraid of death!" Doraemon shook the control stick like a daredevil, as serious as if he were playing a game.

Nobita had already walked right up to it without even noticing, and was still busy fighting the monster.

"Doraemon, it's time to pack up and get going," Nobita said, gently patting Doraemon on the shoulder.

Doraemon had been focused on fighting monsters for a long time, and was so startled by Nobita's sudden outburst that he jumped up and threw the remote control in his hand away.

"Nobita, don't you know this is going to scare people to death?" Doraemon said irritably, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

But then he saw Mitsuki and Miyako behind Nobita and immediately became happy.

"Miyako, I'm so glad you're alright." Doraemon rushed to Miyako's side and said, but he frowned as he looked at the dying Full Moon Mage.

It looks like the injury is quite serious.

"Doraemon, hurry up and take out the wallet, and then take out the desk from the room..." Nobita said hurriedly, there wasn't much time left.

Seeing Nobita's serious yet slightly anxious expression, Doraemon took out his retrieval wallet from his pocket and placed the table containing the time machine in front of Nobita.

"What's wrong, Nobita? You seem very anxious?" Doraemon asked softly.

"Now we can only go back to the day we used the 'what-if' phone booth. We have to stop our past selves, or the world will be destroyed." Nobita didn't have time to explain. He hurriedly pulled open the drawer, jumped in, and then gestured for everyone to come in quickly.

Mizuki, supporting Mangetsu, looked at the table with some confusion. Had Nobita also given this table magic? It was so big that people could crawl inside it.

The group boarded the time machine.

"Nobita... what is this?" Miyako looked around at the scenery with some curiosity, a blurry patchwork of colors.

"This is a time machine. We're going to travel back to the day magic began," Nobita said slowly, taking a deep breath.

"Then you all sit down." Doraemon adjusted the timeline to the day they used the What-If Phone Booth.

The time machine then began to move forward rapidly.

.....

Just then, a figure slowly stepped into the cave, looking at the time machine in the same spot with a puzzled expression.

"What is this?" Medusa examined it carefully by the desk for a long time, but found nothing strange about it. Where did Miyako and that kid go?

After they left the castle, Medusa followed Nobita until they entered the cave. Medusa stopped following them, intending to deliver a fatal blow to Nobita and Miyako when necessary. Her previous defeat had made the Demon King Timao lose faith in her, and if she failed again this time, she would face death.

Therefore, I must succeed in the assassination.

However, just as Medusa was preparing for battle, the group of people inside the cave suddenly disappeared.

All that was left was a desk, which is simply unbelievable.

But when Medusa opened the desk drawer, a strange smile appeared on her lips, and she quickly slipped inside.

...

"Nobita, you didn't encounter any danger in the castle, did you?" Doraemon was very curious about what the inside of the enormous castle was like.

"Why didn't I encounter him? I did encounter the Demon King Timao, and I was just a hair's breadth away from defeating him, but... I didn't. There are other reasons," Nobita replied.

Doraemon shrugged, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "We actually encountered the Demon King, but it's best that we weren't injured."

"Yeah, I almost died. If Miyako hadn't blocked that attack for me, I probably would be meeting God by now." Nobita still gets chills thinking about the battle with the Demon King, but he was still pretty lucky.

"Of course, Miyako is very strong," Doraemon said with a smile.

"Nobita...look at that thing behind you...what is it?" Miyako suddenly sensed a strange spiritual force coming from behind her, so she turned around and saw a flying figure rapidly approaching.

Da Xiong looked behind (Nuo De Zhao), and the figure became closer and clearer.

The snake-like hair on his head danced wildly in the wind, and his ferocious face reminded Nobita of the vengeful woman in Ju-on.

"Damn it... how did Medusa follow us again?" Nobita didn't want to fight Medusa in the time tunnel, because if an accident happened and he was caught in the time vortex, it would be absolutely fatal, since he didn't know which time dimension he would be pulled into.

But looking at Medusa's restless magic, it seems this battle is unavoidable. Moreover, the only place I can stay is this small space of the time machine, and I also have to take care of the Full Moon Mage and Doraemon who controls the time machine. Medusa can fly, but I can't.

Trying to fight and protect simultaneously is virtually impossible.

Chapter 42 The Demon Realm Five Thousand Years Ago

"Doraemon's speed is off the charts! Medusa's coming!!"

Nobita stood on the time machine and conjured a long sword with his mental power in one hand, staring at Medusa as she rushed towards him, making a defensive gesture.

When Doraemon saw Medusa in the rearview mirror, his face instantly turned ashen, like a bitter gourd. How could this be... chasing him all the way into the time tunnel? This is practically playing with fire!

Seeing this, Doraemon quickly increased the speed of the time machine to the maximum, but the speed of this old version of the time machine was still not enough to shake off Medusa, who was getting closer and closer.

Nobita desperately wanted to fight back. Taking down Medusa wouldn't be difficult, but his area of ​​operation was too small. Nobita frowned and could only proceed step by step. Fighting inside the time tunnel was an extremely dangerous thing; a slight mistake could mean certain death.

"Haha, prepare to die, you lowly race, what right do you have to defy the Demon King's will?!" Medusa's shrill voice was like the howl of a ghost from the depths of hell, making everyone's eardrums ache.

Nobita used his mental power to create a small storm that flew towards Medusa, but she dodged each attack. Medusa could fly, and she was like a fish in water in this time tunnel. Ordinary attacks were really hard to deal with her.

Nobita frowned as he watched Medusa approach one after another. If she managed to attack the time machine, everyone would be in danger.

Nobita had no choice but to control the wind element to bring it to his feet, and then fly out to fight Medusa with his longsword.

However, the air is not Nobita's home turf.

"Nobita, watch out!" Miyako shouted as she watched Nobita leap out. She really wanted to rush out and help him, but she also had her father to take care of, putting her in a dilemma.

Nobita was repeatedly defeated by Medusa's attacks, but this was all an illusion. Nobita wanted to appear defeated so that Medusa, the demon at her wit's end, would focus all her attention on the battle.

Nobita's forehead was covered in a fine sheen of sweat. He was clenching his teeth to control his mental energy. If he made a mistake, he would fall into another dimension, which was something he didn't want to encounter.

"Haha, now you know how powerful I am, die!!" Medusa's face was extremely ferocious, and the two venomous snakes coiled on her head suddenly shot out two sharp beams of light at Da Xiong.

Nobita quickly blocked with his sword, but after the first attack on his groin, the silver sword was corroded into stone by the beam of light. The second beam followed and shattered the silver sword. The beam of light suddenly flew towards Nobita.

This is the moment!!

Da Xiong took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light. All the spiritual power in his body was concentrated in this moment, as if a huge hole had been smashed in the world, and the burst of spiritual power instantly reflected that beam of light back.

Medusa stared in astonishment at the beam of light that had been deflected by Nobita's mental energy. If she had been hit by it, she would have turned to stone. But that was nothing compared to what followed, as the ensuing mental energy storm instantly destroyed Medusa's defenses.

Medusa was directly blasted into another dimension by Nobita's mental storm.

Nobita is already in a weakened state, and his mental strength will not recover in a short time.

Nobita suddenly felt a warm embrace from behind, and a strong hug carried him back onto the time machine.

"Ahhh... Nobita, the time machine is malfunctioning! It's rewinding to 5,000 years ago! Ahhh, this is going to be a disaster!!" Doraemon exclaimed anxiously. He didn't know which timeline he was going to be transported to, but the time in each timeline was 5,000 years ago.

Then Doraemon felt everything go black.

My body and the time machine plunged into an endless fall, surrounded by vast darkness and silence, as if the whole world had lost its sound.

Doraemon realized that he, Nobita, and the others were caught in a time-space turbulence.

They just didn't know which time and space they were going to—it could be the age of dinosaurs, the age of aliens, or even five thousand years ago.

These are all unpredictable.

Doraemon finally saw a glimmer of light in the endless darkness.

It's all white again, and I feel like I've seen myself somewhere before?

Doraemon hurriedly rummaged through his pockets, determined to get the group safely to the ground before they traveled through time.

Doraemon then pulled out the Anywhere Door from his pocket. In a split second, Doraemon flung the Anywhere Door in front of him, and the group landed precisely inside.

"...Thank goodness, it seems we can still use the gadgets in this timeline. If we were launched into a timeline where we couldn't use the gadgets, we'd be finished." Doraemon breathed a sigh of relief. As long as we could use the gadgets, we weren't afraid.

"I almost fell to my death..." Da Xiong said, rubbing his buttocks with a pained expression. But... feeling a cool and soft sensation beneath him, he couldn't help but look around at the snow-covered landscape, which reminded him of when he first entered the Demon Realm.

"Where is this place?" Da Xiong murmured.

“It’s the Demon Realm… but it’s the Demon Realm from five thousand years ago!” Miyako said, looking at the army of demons that stretched like dark clouds on the horizon. Those were all two-star demon dragon knights.

"We...we actually traveled to the Demon Realm five thousand years ago, it's unbelievable!" Doraemon said, somewhat puzzled. Was this just a coincidence?

"Let's hide first." Da Xiong helped Man Yue, who was still barely alive, into a cave. However, Man Yue seemed to have something she wanted to say, but she still couldn't get it out.

Seeing this, Nobita could only wait until the full moon had subsided before making any further decisions.

"What... is this thing?!" the Dragon Knight Legion commander asked, staring at a door on the ground.

"I don't know, but I think I sensed something falling into the Demon Realm just now. Could it be that the Demon King ordered us to increase patrols recently?" one of the demons said.

"Start a thorough search!"

Upon seeing this, the demon leader issued an order.

Chapter 43 Five Thousand Years Ago

"It seems I have to evade these demons' search." Doraemon started rummaging through his pockets, looking for any gadgets that could help him avoid the demons.
