Megumi Fushiguro was not a man of many words, but he was keen at sensing the emotions of others. He noticed Shin's reluctance and realized that the potion in his hand might have come at a very high cost.
Without any hesitation, he returned the potion to Shin.
"Kagura, take this potion back. I can manage on my own."
"Don't talk nonsense. Since I gave it to you, just use it. The cost to create it was indeed not low, but it's already been made, and it would be a waste not to use it. This was custom-made for you, it's useless to me."
That was a lie, but if he didn't put it that way, Megumi wouldn't accept the potion.
"...Alright then... I will cherish it."
"Yeah, drink it now. You can't take it away anyway, it'll vanish if it's more than sixty-four meters away from me. Also, its duration is one hour, so keep an eye on the time."
Megumi nodded and downed the potion in one gulp. Immediately, he felt the power within his body surge rapidly, even feeling as though he could lift the entire dormitory building in front of him.
He immediately sprinted all the way to the Jujutsu High training grounds to prepare for the taming ritual. Although he lost control of his strength several times on the way and smashed several large holes in the walls, it only took a few collisions for him to quickly adapt to his current physical intensity and use it proficiently.
...
Piercing Ox!
A sturdy bull slowly stepped out from a patch of shadow. It scratched its hooves and suddenly charged at Megumi.
Megumi drew the Tsuranuki Yari and dodged to the side, then pierced the Piercing Ox with a single thrust.
Watching Megumi from a distance to prevent him from summoning something he shouldn't, Satoru saw Megumi's agile movements and his astonishing speed and power. He couldn't help but recall that day when his neck was pierced by that man.
'To think the enhancement allows me to compare Megumi's strength and speed with Toji's? Shin's potion is truly powerful.'
With speed and strength comparable to Toji, taming Shikigami other than Mahoraga was simply too easy for Megumi. Soon, Tiger Funeral and Round Deer were also tamed by Megumi one by one.
Megumi had no intention of taming Mahoraga at all, because he knew very well that even with his current strength, he could not defeat Mahoraga, who could adapt to everything.
Currently, the only four people in the world who could steadily defeat Mahoraga were Satoru, Shin, Sukuna, and Yuki.
To deal with Mahoraga, one must use a high-burst move to kill it in one shot. Otherwise, once the wheel behind its head turns, the same move will no longer cause effective damage.
This was the treasure of the Zenin clan, the strongest Shikigami, capable of adapting to all phenomena—Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga!
After stabbing Round Deer, which could use Reverse Cursed Technique, to death with a few thrusts, Megumi looked at the long spear in his hand and felt a sense of unreality.
It wasn't that he hadn't tried to tame these three Shikigami before, but either he was sent flying by Piercing Ox, or he was heavily injured by Tiger Funeral's great power, or he exhausted his Cursed Energy without being able to inflict effective damage on Round Deer. But today, he had easily dealt with three Shikigami.
'Kagura is indeed very strong. Even an ordinary person enhanced by him could probably possess the strength of a Special Grade Cursed Spirit.'

After finishing the taming, Megumi went to Shin's dormitory again. He originally wanted to invite Shin out for a meal to thank him, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw two people wearing full sets of Netherite Armor.
"Itadori? How are you wearing Kagura's armor? I remember that even Gojo-sensei couldn't withstand the weight of this suit."
Yuji took off his helmet and pointed at the Command Block and Megumi with an excited face. "It's this! As long as you input some Cursed Energy to let it record it, you can freely use the items Kagura created within a sixty-four-meter radius centered on this block!"
"The armor and enchanted golden apples that we couldn't pick up before can now all be used normally. Since you're here too, let's try it together."
Megumi tried to input some Cursed Energy into the Command Block, then tried taking the trident handed over by Yuji.
Shin said, "This is all thanks to Itadori. I complained to him that this Command Block couldn't be activated with Cursed Energy at all, but he didn't believe it and gave it a try, and unexpectedly succeeded in driving it."
"It seems it was just because it already had my Cursed Energy in it and couldn't be reused. Moreover, I've discovered that within the effective range of the Command Block, even if I go far away, the items I created won't disappear. Although this is barely scratching the surface of the Command Block's functions, at least we can finally use it."
Megumi looked at the Command Block and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He instinctively thought of using the Command Block to help him tame Mahoraga. He imagined himself wearing a full set of armor glowing with iridescent light, holding a glowing trident, and then using the potion he was lent just now to enhance himself—how strong would that be?
'Perhaps the strongest state I can imagine is just Kagura's most ordinary appearance during battle. I really still can't compare to him.'
If Shin knew he was thinking this, he would definitely say: No! I'm not that extravagant yet. There's no need to use potions at all.
Shin couldn't imagine anyone being able to defeat him when he was fully covered in Maximum Technique armor. How strong would an enemy have to be to make him use a potion for enhancement?
The current Shin was already at the absolute peak of the world's combat power.
If you let Shin fight Satoru now, the two might be evenly matched. Whoever was pulled into the other's domain first would lose. After all, the current Shin lacked the ability to counter Unlimited Void.
Of course, being pulled into the domain refers to being pulled in completely off-guard.
But if Satoru and Shin agreed to a duel, then Shin would show Satoru what 'counter-building' meant.
He'll just give his creations attributes that specifically counter Infinity and Unlimited Void. After ignoring Satoru's hax, he'll crush him with pure stats.
As long as Shin knew the enemy's information, in less than a week, he would design a whole set of countermeasures. For example, he had already stored equipment to counter Sukuna, Kenjaku, Dagon, and Hanami.
If it weren't for the lack of experience points, Shin would even want to make counter-sets for everyone in the world.
