Upon seeing the description of "Gorgon's Demonic Blood," Mahiro Oyama was completely stunned, and it took him a long time to finally utter two words:

"My God!"

Everyone was shocked.

"Can this... be used to remove petrification?"

Kurisu Makise looked at the blood in the ancient pottery jar and asked.

Ryuguuin Seiya spoke:

"Logically speaking, the place where venomous snakes live should also have antidotes. Medusa, as a legendary monster with Mystic Eyes that can turn people to stone, might have blood that can undo petrification."

Mahiro Oyama wanted to say that the item's panel did not mention that Medusa's blood could remove petrification.

Hachiman Hikigaya his sharp eyes, immediately understood what Mahiro wanted to say and quietly tugged at her clothes.

"...?!"

Mahiro Oyama wasn't stupid; the moment he was pulled aside, he understood what the other person meant and quickly swallowed the words he was about to say.

That's what they say.

But how to use it remained a mystery to everyone.

Misaka Mikoto closed her eyes, irritably touched her hair, and went straight forward to pick up the divine blood. She then went to the Lin Zhen statue and prepared to fall down.

"Try the simplest one first."

"Wait a moment,"

Kazuma Satou spoke, causing Misaka Mikoto to stop what she was doing, and then looked at Kohei Imamura:

"The professor is still Team Chat. Why don't you ask him? He might have an idea. Anyway, he's better than us... Muggles."

"OK".

Kohei Imamura and Iori Kitahara quickly joined the Team Chat and posted the effects of [Blood of Medusa's Skull] verbatim.

Lin Zhen: "This alone shouldn't be enough to remove the petrification."

Kohei Imamura: "What else do you need?"

Lin Zhen: "Divine blood is not actually a necessity, and it's even completely irrelevant. In the various mythological systems I've studied... there's no antidote for petrification; it can only be removed by the [Great Supernatural Being] within each system."

[Lin Zhen: "If you want to try, find items that can remove abnormal statuses, such as the Fountain of Youth in Ethiopia, the Five Blessings Spring in Qingtian River... the spring water on Olympus might also be able to break the curse."]

Kohei Imamura: "Olympus... could Hera possibly appear?"

Lin Zhen: "Don't worry. Imamura, this is just a game. Even if you're eliminated, it just means you're leaving the closed beta, not that you're truly dead."

Lin Zhen: "Beiyuan, did you do what I asked you to do before?"

Iori Kitahara: "I've been calling all three phone numbers, and I've also posted the code you mentioned online, but I haven't received a response."

Lin Zhen: "It seems that either [I] don't exist in this world, or all information in [Fuyuki City] is blocked and can't reach the outside world."

Lin Zhen: "In reality, I have ways to break free from petrification. It seems cheating isn't allowed. There's nothing I can do."

Kohei Imamura: "What methods? Can I use them?"

Lin Zhen: "My research on Department of Mineralogy Grand Magecraft should be complete by now, if we consider ten years. None of you currently have the ability to use magic or Magecraft. Kurisu Makise, with the 'Person of All Trades' buff, let me explain; perhaps we can use a small branch of it to break the curse."

Kohei Imamura immediately returned to reality and bowed to Kurisu Makise:

"Please! Ms. Kurisu Makise, could I borrow your Craft Essence for a moment?"

"Um."

Kurisu Makise removed her Craft Essence and handed it over, giving a brief instruction:

"Don't force it... If your adaptability is too low, forcing your brain to work will burn you out."

Kohei Imamura nodded, unfolded his Craft Essence, and fragments of memory flashed through his mind.

Strangely, what he saw was not that medieval genius.

He was a man who always created strange "little bottles".

He was a little puzzled, wondering if he was adaptable or not.

[Kiritani Sento: "What?! It really is me?"]

[Wan Changlong: "It's not that I doubt you... can you undo Medusa's petrification?"]

Kiritani Sento: "Wait, you're actually questioning me?"

[Kiritani Sento: "Although I don't know why Kohei Imamura can see my past through the 'Person of All Trades,' if he can inherit even one percent of my intelligence, he can't possibly lose! The only possibility of failure is... not having enough time."]

Kurisu Makise asked:

"How are you? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Mahiro Oyama her previous feelings:

"If you experience a numbing sensation like being electrocuted or a heavy feeling in your head, stop using it. It means you have low adaptability."

Kohei Imamura took a careful look and found that he seemed to be no different from usual...

"I don't feel anything."

Kazuma Satou looked at the white coat that was radiating a magical aura.

"I don't feel like we failed, but you've already shown this Craft Essence, so it doesn't seem like a failure."

"I'll give it a try."

Kohei Imamura immediately joined the Team Chat and began communicating with Lin Zhen.

Kohei Imamura: "Professor, I activated [The Person of All Trades], but for some reason, I don't feel anything. Could you explain it to me so I can try to learn?"

Lin Zhen: "Okay, if you write it down now, you might need it later."

Iori Kitahara: "Professor, don't be too pessimistic. Don't let my constant criticism of him fool you; Imamura actually got into the mechanical engineering department in real life, so he's quite intelligent."

[Lin Zhen: "Then let's begin the lesson. Removing the petrification is currently impossible, but bypassing the petrified state and restoring activity might be achievable..."]

Kohei Imamura: "As long as there's hope, that's enough. Leave it to me! Watch me put in the same effort I did for my college entrance exams!"

[Lin Zhen: "It's too difficult to start from the beginning. Even if the Chat Group time is paused, when you return to reality, your brain still has to reprocess this information, which could waste a lot of time. So I'll just highlight the key points."]

[Kohei Imamura: "1"]

Iori Kitahara: "You've got all the key points out of you, Professor. You really are a professor!"

Kohei Imamura: "Kitahara, I'm preparing for an exam. There are no make-up exams."

Iori Kitahara: "It's my problem, good luck with that."

Kohei Imamura began studying frantically, and under the impetus of the "Person of All Trades," his intelligence and learning ability increased to a terrifying level.

Learning the [Department of Mineralogy] and [Curses] categories sequentially from scratch, even just learning specific chapters, is a terrifying amount of material.

Lin Zhen: "I was too pessimistic before. Imamura, you are a true genius. What you just learned is enough to fill the Clock Tower. I've been teaching this for three years, and most Magecraft still can't learn it."

[Kohei Imamura: "Professor, wait a minute... I think I've got the basics figured out, but according to what you just said about Chapter 4 of 'Gilgamesh's Cursing studies VI,' the most crucial prerequisite for the ritual is that a god's curse must have the forgiveness of a higher god... This point shouldn't be overlooked, right?"]

Lin Zhen: "This point is indeed not to be ignored, but given your current conditions, it's probably impossible to achieve."

Kohei Imamura: "Is Heracles really that bad?"

Lin Zhen: "Think about it, as a game for demigods and half-humans, even if he becomes a god after death, he doesn't actually have any real power, so he can't be considered to have risen to the position of 'Medusa.' There's not much time left, so try the simplified Magecraft I've given you. Don't feel pressured."

[Kohei Imamura: "Okay"]

"Call..."

Kohei Imamura left the Team Chat, closed his eyes, and took a few deep breaths.

Let your brain adjust, and your soul will absorb a massive amount of Magecraft knowledge—equivalent to three years of study for an average person! And that's just the quantity, not even considering the quality!

The "Person of All Trades" aura emanating from him shimmered with white light, aiding his digestion.

Kohei Imamura began to take action.

Kazuma Satou group have already presented all the materials they obtained in this round.

The standard materials include [Dragon's Tooth (White)] and [Cursed Bone (White)].

Shinji Matou gave him the [Remnants of Madness (Green)] and the [Iron Pillar of Weeping Night (Blue)].

The highest grade are Kazuma Satou's [Forbidden Fruit (Red)] and [Medusa's Divine Blood (Red)], which he also obtained.

[Mery: "I can't see any connection between these materials at all"]

Solomon: "It cannot be resolved."

[Gilgamesh: "Hopeless. (Shakes head)"]

Kischur Zelretch: "!!! (As anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof)"

Leinys: "Looks like my adoptive brother isn't having much luck."

[Amures: "Tsk, what a waste of such a good opportunity. To be honest, apart from his talent, he doesn't deserve to be a Magecraft at all."]

[Heracles: "Why don't you just leave? Why bother with other people's business?"]

Waver: "Hey, how could you talk about Teacher Lin like that?"

[Richaotan: "That's the truth. What's the point of helping these two ordinary people?"]

[Aria: "If it were me, I'd just find a way to trick them into giving me their Craft Essence and Noble Phantasm, then lure them to some boss and kill them. That way, I'd have the perfect Craft Essence Noble Phantasm combination right from the start. If all else fails, I can just retreat and sell them to buy whatever I like."]

[Richaotan: "Yeah, since there's no group chat now, veteran players have no idea. You can just make something up and fool them."]

[A-Xiu: "?"]

[Minato Namikaze: "No, is this something a human would say?"]

[Bridge Blocker: "Aria Richaotan, I'll fuck your mothers! If you even dared to mess with those old players Kazuma Satou, I wouldn't even bother cursing you. What kind of beasts are you, trying to take advantage of your own teammates?"]

[Red Wolf: "Is this some kind of possession attempt on... my teammate?!"]

[Wei Long: "I've memorized these two IDs."]

[Tatsumi: "Wait, Miss Ellie?"]

[Sayu: "Ahem... Tatsumi, be careful."]

[Tatsumi: "Sayu? Where are you? I... I can't find you."]

[Ieyasu: "Don't worry about us, cough cough... We're beyond saving. She's not human. Don't be fooled. Run!"]

Aria: "You two bitches, you actually have the mind to speak?"

[Tatsumi: "What did you do?"]

Aria: "Heh, do you think I'm really stupid? If I were to brag about what I did, I'd definitely get banned like Zouken Matou."

[Tatsumi: "Sayu Ieyasu, tell me, what happened?"]

[Sayu: "Tatsumi... it's no use listening to you, so just don't listen."]

Tatsumi: "... Damn it!"

Aria: "Hmph, since the information here won't be leaked anyway, I don't have to suppress myself at all. It's so enjoyable, hahaha!"

Dao Qitian: "Now, a notification is being inserted."

[Aizen: "Here I am."]

[Dio: "Hey bro, let me clarify, I didn't do anything disgusting in the Livestream Room."]

[Makima: "We've been giving suggestions to the Livestream Room system."]

Dao Qitian: "The first public test will launch a large-scale event covering all the myriad realms. Participation is not mandatory for all players, but there are generous rewards."

[Dao Qitian: "The top sixteen teams will receive a basic reward called a [Dao Tian Information Voucher]. Below is the item information.]"

——

[Item: Dao Tian Information Voucher]

[Type: Special Scroll / Perfect Wish]

[Level: Red]

[Effect 1: This scroll can be consumed to obtain a brief piece of information that the player desires. This information is [absolutely accurate].]
