"Wow, such incredible technology!"
"I thought I was done for!"
"Are you a god?"
"You must be a god!"
An old man suddenly emerged from the crowd, falling to his knees in front of Doraemon.
"The gods have come to save us! Please, almighty god, have mercy and lead us out of this place!" The old man was so overwhelmed with emotion that he began bowing repeatedly, praying fervently.
Doraemon, startled by the man's behavior, quickly backed away.
"Please, stop that! I'm not a god!" Doraemon said in a panic.
"Sorry about that. He comes from a more traditional and superstitious time period, so seeing your advanced technology made him think you're a god," Chris explained, somewhat embarrassed.
"I see." Doraemon nodded, understanding now. He had encountered similar situations before.
"By the way, have you seen these three kids?" Doraemon asked, pulling out three photos from his pocket and showing them to Chris and the other residents.
"I saw them enter this place, and I'm here to find them," Doraemon explained.
Chris and the others took a close look at the photos, but everyone shook their heads.
"Sorry, but none of us have seen them," Chris responded apologetically.
"I see... Then they're still out there, and it's dangerous," Doraemon said, worry clouding his expression as he glanced toward the aisles and dark hallways outside the barricade.
With the many monstrous employees roaming the area, he knew it would be incredibly dangerous for the three kids if they were still wandering around.
"I have to go find them right away," Doraemon declared, urgency in his voice. He couldn't risk leaving his friends out there to fend for themselves. If something happened to them, it would be a disaster.
"Wait! You can't leave now. It's way too dangerous out there at night!" Chris urged, visibly concerned. "The darkness brings out those monsters everywhere."
"I don't have a choice. If I don't go now, my friends could die," Doraemon replied firmly, determined to press on.
The residents of "Returns Town" exchanged anxious glances, unsure of how to proceed. Many of them were reluctant to let Doraemon leave. After all, with his powerful gadgets, he had just saved them from the brink of destruction. Keeping him here would greatly increase their chances of survival.
But none of them dared force Doraemon to stay.
Sensing their concern, Doraemon glanced at the battered barricade, which was barely holding up after the employee monsters' assault.
"How about I help you out a bit before I go?" Doraemon offered. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the magical Banana Leaf Fan.
"You've seen what this fan can do. Just give it a few waves, and it'll generate a strong wind. The harder you wave, the stronger the wind. This should help you defend yourselves," Doraemon said, handing the fan to Chris.
"Really? You're just going to give us such a powerful weapon?" Chris asked, his hands trembling as he accepted the fan. He could hardly believe what was happening.
"Don't worry, I have plenty of things like this. And one more thing..." Doraemon said with a grin. He flew over to the damaged barricade and took out a Repair Torch. With a few zaps of the beam, the barricade was instantly restored, the broken pieces piecing back together as if nothing had ever happened.
Everyone, both in Returns Town and watching on the screen, stared in amazement.
But Doraemon wasn't finished yet. He then pulled out a lantern-like device and pointed it at the newly repaired barricade, emitting another beam of light. The makeshift wall of wooden furniture and leather couches suddenly transformed, taking on a metallic sheen.
"Try hitting the wall," Doraemon suggested, flying back to Chris.
Chris, still in shock, grabbed a shovel and gave the wall a good whack.
Clang!
The wall rang out with a sharp metallic sound, and Chris recoiled in pain as the force of the impact traveled up the shovel and into his hands.
"What the—this wall is solid steel!" Chris exclaimed in disbelief.
"I modified the wall's material, turning it into steel. Now it should be much better at withstanding those monsters' attacks," Doraemon explained with a smile.
"This is unbelievable... Your technology is beyond anything we've ever seen. It's practically a miracle!" Chris said, still in awe. The advanced technology Doraemon wielded felt so miraculous that many might indeed mistake it for divine intervention.
"I'm not a god, just a robot. Anyway, I really need to go find my friends now," Doraemon said, flying into the air. One of the mini explorers he had sent out earlier flew back, urgently gesturing toward a distant part of the store.
"You found them? Lead the way!" Doraemon shouted, his face lighting up with excitement. He immediately followed the explorer, zooming off into the unknown.
Meanwhile, on the screen, everyone watching was abuzz with conversation about the tools Doraemon had just used.
Rhodey: "What was that just now? A beam that can repair things and another that can change materials? How is that even possible?"
Tony Stark: "Rhodey, you've gotta see it for what it is—this is all technology! It's the power of science!"
Mordo: "Technology? Technology that can repair and alter matter with just a beam of light? That sounds more like advanced magic!"
The Ancient One: "In the world of magic, only reality-altering spells can achieve such feats. But to think Doraemon's tools can do this so effortlessly…"
Even The Ancient One felt a twinge of humility. If Doraemon's support tools were this powerful, she could only imagine how terrifying his battle gadgets would be. She even considered the possibility of Doraemon becoming Earth's new protector if ever the need arose.
Tsunade: "Can that repair beam fix anything, no matter how damaged?"
Doraemon: "Yep, it can repair anything that's been accidentally broken, as long as its life cycle hasn't ended."
Naruto: "Wow, if we had that, rebuilding the village wouldn't be so hard!"
Naruto looked around at the devastation in his village, wishing he had such a tool. It would make the rebuilding effort a breeze compared to the hard work it would take otherwise.
