Chapter 289

Although they frequently traveled back and forth through time using the Time Machine, this time, everyone felt a sense of dread—afraid to witness a future they didn't want to see.

"Oh, come on! What are you all so scared of?!"

Just as everyone was looking worried, Gian was the first to speak up.

"No matter how scared we are, it won't change anything! The only way to know the result is to see for ourselves! Stop overthinking it! Believe in Doraemon's gadget and trust our luck!"

Gian spoke with a commanding presence, exuding the air of a leader.

Seeing his determination, the others gathered their courage.

That's right—thinking about it here wouldn't change anything. They might as well go and see the future for themselves.

"Alright! Let's go! I refuse to believe that, with all my gadgets, I can't break a ghost's curse! And if all else fails, we'll find a solution in the future world!"

Doraemon quickly regained his determination.

Once everyone had steeled themselves, they immediately opened the desk drawer, entered the Time Machine, and traveled seven days into the future.

Seeing this, many people in the other universes couldn't help but get excited.

Tony Stark: "Doraemon! So this is the Time Machine you talked about! Are you guys inside the Time Tunnel right now?!"

Doraemon: "Yes, this is the Time Tunnel. We're traveling through time to seven days in the future."

Sage: "My god! You guys can actually travel through time! This is unbelievable! Is this the power of science?!"

Albafica: "Time travel… If it's possible, wouldn't that mean we could change the regrets of the past?"

Hearing Albafica's words, the other Gold Saints couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

No matter who you were, there were always regrets—people they couldn't save, goodbyes they never got to say.

In their world, they had no way to go back. They could only carry their regrets and keep moving forward.

But now, if there was a chance to change things, who wouldn't want to seize it?

"If I could go back in time, I could stop my brother from going down the wrong path!"

Defteros clenched his fists.

The memories of that time still brought him pain.

Albafica also had his regrets—the death of his master, Rugonis, was a wound in his heart. He had wished countless times that he could go back and change things, even if it meant he could never become a Gold Saint himself, as long as Rugonis could live.

Hasgard and Sisyphus both thought of the fallen hero, Ilias. They regretted not being able to do more when he passed away.

But no one felt it as deeply as Sage. Over two hundred years ago, after their hard-won victory against Hades' army, their comrades had fallen prey to the schemes of Thanatos and Hypnos. If he could go back, he would never let that happen!

...

Meanwhile, in Hades' Castle—

Aspros watched the screen, seeing Doraemon and Nobita traveling through time, and his brilliant mind started racing.

"If I could go back to the past, I'd never let my foolish brother get in my way!"

Aspros gritted his teeth. He had been so close—just a little more, and he would have replaced Sage as the Pope!

Thanatos: "Impossible! How can mere humans have the ability to travel through time? Even gods can't do that! How could such insignificant beings accomplish something so absurd?!"

Tony Stark: "Don't underestimate humans, you stuck-up god! As long as science keeps advancing, what seems impossible now will eventually become reality!"

Sage: "I envy your world. Your level of technology is beyond anything we have. It looks like we Saints need to start developing science as well."

Sisyphus: "But from what I understand, time travel should require exceeding the speed of light. Doraemon, are you guys faster than light?"

Doraemon: "Huh? No, we're traveling through the dimension of time itself, so we don't need to move at light speed."

Tony Stark: "So time itself has a separate dimension!"

Ancient One: "A dimension of time… This is the first I've heard of it."

Bruce Wayne: "How do you enter the time dimension? Does that mean you can travel freely between past and future just by going there?"

Doraemon: "I don't know how to find the time dimension in your world. And it's not that simple—you need precise coordinates. Otherwise, you'll get lost in the time dimension and won't be able to reach any specific point in time."

Tony Stark: "I refuse to believe I can't figure it out!"

Tony Stark immediately thought of his Void Engine, which contained vast amounts of knowledge and could analyze anything—even time itself.

Unfortunately, according to the AI of the Void Engine, he needed to upgrade it significantly before it could analyze time.

And to do that, he required an immense amount of energy, which gave him a headache.

His arc reactor was powerful, but it wasn't nearly enough to upgrade the Void Engine to that level.

Where was he supposed to find suitable materials for the upgrade?

For now, he could only hope to earn some through the containment process.

Bruce Wayne, on the other hand, studied his Yellow Lantern Ring. It contained knowledge about time, but it only mentioned traveling at superluminal speeds—nothing about a separate time dimension.

At this moment, Doraemon and his friends had successfully arrived in the future, landing at the corner across from their teacher's house.

The five of them hid behind the corner anxiously, waiting to see their teacher.

If things were normal, their teacher should be leaving for work around this time.

They desperately hoped to see him step out.

Time passed, second by second.

Although only a short while had passed, to Nobita and the others, it felt like an eternity.

Finally, the door to the house opened.

Morio Eiichiro stepped out as usual, looking completely fine.

"He's okay! Teacher is okay!"

Nobita was the first to cry out in excitement, but the others quickly covered his mouth before he could blow their cover.

Still, everyone looked absolutely thrilled.

Their teacher was alive and well, which meant he hadn't been infected by Sadako's cursed virus.

That could only mean one thing—they had succeeded!

"Hooray!"

Once their teacher was far enough away, Doraemon and the others couldn't hold back their emotions any longer.

They jumped and cheered, tears streaming down their faces in pure joy.

Rhodes: "I can't believe it actually worked. That ridiculous-looking mouthpiece really altered causality!"

Hypnos: "Unbelievable… Human science has achieved something that even gods struggle with."

Thanatos: "This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Manigold: "Hah! Death God, even though I can't see you, I can just imagine your face right now—must be priceless!"
