"Damn it…! Hurry up and let us in…!"
Fat Tiger's (Panghu's) temper had always been on the impulsive side. The moment this layer of transparent barrier blocked their way, he immediately clenched his fists and Duang Duang Duang—hammered wildly at the barrier.
But this transparent shield looked unbelievably sturdy. No matter how much Panghu punched it, it didn't budge in the slightest.
"It's useless, Panghu. Don't waste your strength. This should be a gadget from the 22nd century. Unless the user turns it off themselves, even missiles wouldn't be able to break a shield like this."
Doraemon reached out and pressed his hand against the barrier as he spoke, helplessness all over his face.
No wonder the guy Ulanda dared to perform a resurrection spell for the monster Mafengka here without holding back—so he had this ace up his sleeve.
The moment Doraemon said it was a 22nd-century gadget, Lin Feng's thoughts snapped sharply into clarity.
If he wasn't mistaken, the reason everything had spiraled into this situation was very likely because of the one secretly pulling strings from the shadows—Dr. Storm, the archaeologist from the future.
This also explained why they went to Long'e Island yet never found the Sealing Sword or the Mafengka Pearl.
Because all of it had already been taken by that future archaeologist, Dr. Storm.And as someone who came from the 22nd century—
The gadgets he carried definitely wouldn't be inferior to Doraemon's.
Not only that—this entire situation was planned by him from the very beginning.
The only thing he probably didn't expect… was Lin Feng's appearance messing up part of his plan.
Originally, without Lin Feng's interference, Ulanda would have easily snatched away Fengzi.
By then, with the addition of his own Xiaohei, he would have gathered all three Mafengka Pearls and revived Mafengka—a task practically guaranteed to succeed.
But even Ulanda couldn't have predicted that as a shaman of the Lan Tribe, he would lose to a human boy—and not just lose, but lose miserably.Even Xiaohei, who followed him, ended up rebelling and joining the other side.
It was probably because Ulanda kept messing up that Storm was finally forced to act himself.
But what Lin Feng couldn't understand was—wasn't Storm afraid of being discovered by the Time Patrol?
In the rules of this world, only the things Doraemon did were recognized by the timeline.
In simple terms, Doraemon's visit from the 22nd century was officially approved, so no matter what he did or how the future changed, everything would be considered part of the correct timeline.
But if anyone else from the 22nd century tried the same thing, and they got caught, the Time Patrol officers would invite them back for tea—and prison.
As a time traveler, Storm obviously knew this.
But he came here specifically to change history, to destroy everything before him.To achieve his goal, he had already lost reason.
So even if it meant risking discovery by the Time Bureau, he'd still use future gadgets and force Ulanda to revive the monster Mafengka.
Everything after that made perfect sense—With 22nd-century tools, finding Ulanda in Tokyo and having him perform the resurrection spell wouldn't be difficult at all.
"Oh? You're quicker than I expected. To think you'd actually find this place."
"Brat, I told you before—you'll regret this. Once Mafengka is revived, every single one of you here will be destroyed!"
Inside the barrier, Ulanda finally noticed Lin Feng and the others.
But he seemed completely confident they couldn't enter to stop him, so his tone was dripping with arrogance.
Especially when it came to Lin Feng—the one who kept ruining his plans—Ulanda's teeth practically itched with hatred.
Hearing him chanting spells and trash-talking at the same time, Lin Feng didn't bother responding. He simply frowned slightly and touched the transparent barrier in front of him.
"Doraemon… there really isn't any way to break this?"
Earlier, when Panghu was going Duang Duang Duang, Lin Feng had also tried concentrating his strength onto one point to shatter it.
Unlike Panghu's loud-but-ineffective pounding, Lin Feng—who now possessed the Breath of the Sun—could unleash truly terrifying power.
But even that had no effect.22nd-century high-tech gadgets really were on another level.
"Mhm… because this gadget was designed specifically to keep its user safe. Its anti-impact and anti-explosion capabilities are extremely strong."
Doraemon's helpless expression deepened.The clearer he understood the gadget's functions, the more hopeless the situation felt.
They could clearly see Ulanda trying to revive Mafengka—but they couldn't do a single thing about it.The feeling was awful.
Above them, the storm clouds gathered thicker and thicker.Though it was still daytime, the sky had become as dark as night.
As the obscure, ancient chant slowly fell from Ulanda's lips, the Mafengka Pearl floating before him gradually turned blood-red.
"Come forth, Mafengka! Your revival… has arrived!"
Seeing the moment had finally come, Ulanda raised both arms high toward the sky.
At the same time, the blood-red Mafengka Pearl before him transformed into a beam of terrifying energy and shot straight upward—into the eye of the storm.
"B-b-big trouble…! That legendary monster is really getting summoned! We're totally doomed…!"
Seeing this, Suneo was scared out of his wits and scrambled to hide behind Panghu.
"Damn it… Is there really no way left to stop him…?!"
Panghu gritted his teeth and stared at the sky, fists clenched, unwillingness written all over his face.
"What do we do, Doraemon…?"
Nobita instinctively turned to rely on Doraemon.
But this time, facing a gadget from the same century as himself, Doraemon was just as helpless.After all, most of his tools were old, second-hand items discarded by others in the 22nd century.
