On the other end of the phone, Commissioner Gordon's face was filled with disbelief, his mouth hanging open. What kind of ridiculous reason was this? Was this playboy really that entitled? Having money is really that impressive?
Gordon wanted to scold Bruce Wayne for wasting police resources, but when he remembered that most of the police department's funding came from Wayne Enterprises, and considering his sympathy for orphans, he forced himself to suppress his frustration.
"Fine, I'll help you. Hopefully, you'll find that necklace soon."
After hanging up, Gordon muttered several curses under his breath about Bruce.
Meanwhile, Bruce wasn't concerned. Instead, he called Lucius.
"Lucius, can you buy me an entire street as fast as possible? Why? I'm planning a commercial development. What do you mean it's already a commercial street? I don't like the way it looks, and I want to tear it down and rebuild it! Just do it, please, and quickly!"
Bruce was getting anxious, urging Lucius to move faster.
"Sir, knowing you, I'm sure you have a reason for this. Just be sure to explain it later," Lucius replied, deciding to trust Bruce's judgment.
After giving his instructions, Bruce looked back at the screen, hoping that Gordon could act swiftly and minimize the number of casualties.
As Bruce was about to head out, he witnessed something unbelievable.
Several Mimic Beasts were crawling up the walls of the IKEA store, sneaking in through a window. It wasn't just one or two—there were several of them!
Tony Stark: "Hey, did I just see that right? Were those Mimic Beasts that just went in?"
Diana: "Bruce, didn't you eliminate them all?"
Bruce Wayne: "Damn it. I didn't want to bring this up, but apparently, some of the younglings escaped that I didn't notice. I thought we got them all based on the data from the screen. Turns out, some managed to stay hidden and hunt around Gotham."
Nick Fury: "That's odd. If they weren't all wiped out, why did the screen say containment was successful?"
Loki: "I think I know why. The ones the screen predicted were eliminated, but their offspring weren't included."
Sanji: "The distinction is that clear? That seems like a trap."
Loki: "Perhaps this is the screen's way of playing a little prank."
Bruce Wayne: "No matter what, I'm going to eliminate those creatures! But first, I need to rescue Alfred!"
Bruce immediately grabbed his Nightwing Rider belt, aimed it at a mirror, and struck a pose, shouting: "Henshin!"
The Nightwing armor swiftly wrapped around Bruce, completing his transformation into Kamen Rider Nightwing.
"Darkwing Bat, let's go."
Bruce called out to his Darkwing Bat, which was gnawing on raw meat. The bat quickly finished its meal and flew to Bruce, allowing him to ride it into the Mirror World.
Meanwhile, in the Doraemon universe
A crowd of people had gathered in front of the IKEA superstore, curiously looking at the newly appeared building.
"Eh? When did this new store open?" Shizuka asked, puzzled.
Suneo: "Yeah, it's close to my house, and I didn't even know about it."
"Who cares? Let's go check it out! New stores always have discounts. If we can buy cheap groceries, we can save some pocket money!" Gian said nonchalantly as he ran towards the IKEA store.
"Wait up, Gian!" Shizuka followed, thinking Gian made a good point.
Suneo added, "Not that I need to save money with all my pocket cash, but more is always better, right?" He quickly caught up with the others.
Doraemon: "Wait, wait! They went in too! Oh no! Nobita, wake up! We've got a problem!"
Nobita: "ZZZZZ…"
Doraemon: "How can you be so lazy when I'm not home! Ugh, never mind, I'll go myself!"
With that, Doraemon took out his Anywhere Door. He opened it and instantly appeared in front of the IKEA store, where a large group of people were about to enter.
"Hold on! Hold on! This store isn't finished yet! Please don't go in!" Doraemon called out, waving his hands frantically. At the same time, he pulled out a Frog Music Box and played its tune, which made everyone suddenly want to go home.
Seeing the crowd disperse, Doraemon sighed in relief.
Tony Stark: "Hey! What kind of gadget did you just use?"
Doraemon: "Oh, this? It's the Homeward Music Box. Whoever hears its music will feel an overwhelming desire to go home."
Tony Stark: "Not that! I meant the door! How did you open a door and just appear there? Is it some kind of teleportation device?"
Doraemon: "Oh, that's the Anywhere Door. It's a spatial teleportation tool. As long as it's within ten light-years of Earth's core, I can go anywhere—whether it's deep space or under the sea."
Hearing Doraemon's explanation left everyone in shock. A tool that could transport you anywhere that easily!
The most astonished among them were the Asgardians and the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj.
Kamar-Taj.
"This looks just like our teleportation portals!" Doctor Strange exclaimed in surprise.
He had thought that their portal magic was unmatched, but here was Doraemon with a gadget that could replicate its function effortlessly. Could science really surpass magic?
Nearby, both Mordo and Wong had grim expressions. The appearance of the Anywhere Door seemed to make their long years of mastering portal magic look foolish.
"There's no need to be so discouraged. The Anywhere Door is still just a physical object, and carrying it around is a hassle. But you can summon a portal at any time," the Ancient One reassured them as she appeared.
"Master Ancient One!"
Everyone bowed respectfully upon seeing her. Her words calmed them down, making them feel better. After all, objects can be lost, but magic, summoned with just a hand gesture, is much more convenient.
With this thought, their hearts found balance again.
"Master Ancient One, how did your negotiations go during your retreat?" Mordo asked, curious. He knew she had been negotiating with Vishanti during her time away.
"They agreed to reduce the side effects of using their magic, but only if we share a portion of Kamar-Taj's magical energy with them. Of course, I haven't agreed to it yet," the Ancient One replied with a smile. Such a large amount of magical energy couldn't just be handed over so easily—if they did, every demon god would soon try to take a piece.
The Ancient One then looked at the screen. She had emerged from her retreat due to her curiosity about Doraemon's gadgets, and it seemed her decision was well worth it.
Asgard.
Odin's expression wasn't looking good. Asgard had the Rainbow Bridge for teleportation, and they had always thought it was advanced enough. But seeing the Anywhere Door was like watching Asgard's prized technology get completely outclassed.
