The three women held equal status, and asking each other for help would incur a favor.
Therefore, Frey wanted to use this act of elevating Carrion to completely bind their interests together.
Well, to put it bluntly, she was looking for a thug.
Frey would do the thinking.
As for dying—no, as for fighting—that was Carrion's job.
"Finally, the most troublesome issue."
"How should we handle Milim?"
Although Artoria and Snow Empress didn't know much about Milim, from their battle with Velzard, they had grasped some understanding of Milim's combat strength.
"Velzard, after evolving into a Dragon God, is even stronger than Milim."
At least when Milim wasn't in a berserk state, the Frost Dragon God could suppress her.
The problem was that the Lord of Wrath, as a magicule furnace, allowed Milim to infinitely increase her magicules, at the cost of losing her sanity.
However.
Artoria and Snow Empress still believed Velzard was stronger.
Because Rin had told them that the current Frost Dragon God had reached the peak of the Cardinal World.
Unless the Star King Dragon was reborn, no one could defeat her.
At least until Feldway revealed his full strength, the Frost Dragon God would occupy the T0 position for a long time.
"If she can rival Velzard..."
"No, not even rival."
Even if Milim in her normal state only had one-tenth of Velzard's strength, Snow Empress still couldn't win.
The two women who had just fought Velzard were extremely clear about the power of a Dragon God.
Even working together, they still weren't a match for Velzard in her normal state. It was a complete, crushing defeat.
Their Ultimate Skills couldn't even scratch Velzard's defense.
On the contrary, the terrifying magicule pressure of God's Domain drove the two of them to despair.
Yes, Velzard didn't even use her Ultimate Skills in that battle.
She relied solely on magicules and physical enhancements to crush them.
"No, it's different."
Frey said, "Milim in her normal state is far weaker than you think."
"At the very least, there's a huge gap between her and Velzard's normal state."
After all, Velzard, as a Dragon God, could already destroy universes with ease.
Milim, on the other hand, could only barely touch that realm when she was in her berserk state.
The difference between them was obvious.
"Milim..."
Suddenly, a voice echoed in the minds of the three women. "Leave her to me."
"Rin!!"
"Master!"
"Master!!"
The three women were surprised, but not alarmed.
Their private discussion had never been meant to be hidden from Rin.
They had even planned to report their discussion to Rin in writing afterward.
Only after Rin approved could they begin implementation.
"Were you eavesdropping?"
"No, I just arrived."
Rin's figure appeared before the three women. He said, "I heard you mention Milim, so I turned my attention this way and happened to catch the plan you were discussing."
"Then..."
Frey looked at Rin a little nervously. "What do you think?"
"I agree."
Rin had no reason to reject Frey's efforts. "Anyway, when the time comes, just leave the administration to the cabinet."
What cabinet?
The weightlifting champion Rimuru just wanted to say: The Monster Nation's two capitals and thirteen provinces all rest on my shoulders!
"But, as for Milim..."
Snow Empress hesitated. "Wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to go personally?"
"Let Velzard handle it instead."
Milim's uniqueness came from her mastery of star particle power.
Star particles were akin to the material of creation.
An attack based on them could even break through Rin's current defenses.
"Don't worry. I'll bring her with me."
Rin was confident, but not reckless.
With a super bodyguard like the Frost Dragon God, only an idiot wouldn't take her along.
"Besides, in this world, no one is more suited to deal with Milim than me."
Rin also had mastery over star particles.
Milim's invincibility was limited to the Cardinal World.
In some ways, Rin—who could control star particles and also wield powers from other worlds—could be considered Milim's natural enemy.
Especially now, with his magicule reserves increased, Rin fighting Milim might feel more like a parent disciplining a child.
He just had to be careful not to drive her into a frenzy where she'd start throwing Star Particle Cannons at random.
Even Rin was very wary of that.
"Alright."
Rin gave instructions, "Artoria, prepare for any irregular movements from the Kingdom of Falmuth."
"When the time comes, I'll have the Starfang Wolves and the Onis follow your command."
"Yes!"
Artoria's hand, which was resting on the hilt of her sword, tightened slightly.
She only hoped the humans would send some worthy enemies.
Otherwise, this battle would be far too dull.
"Snow Empress, you and Ice Empress are in charge of guarding the eastern forest."
"Once Clayman's army launches its assault, don't hesitate. Annihilate them immediately."
"I understand."
Snow Empress accepted the order and then moved next to Frey.
"Master..."
Frey waited for Rin's instructions. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Carrion and the Beast Kingdom of Eurazania..."
"Don't worry. I bear no ill will toward the Beast Kingdom of Eurazania. I even admire warriors like him."
Rin was still willing to subdue Carrion.
Not just Carrion, but even Milim, Rin wanted to make her one of his dependents.
That way, the Monster Nation would gain a Dragon God-level and a True Demon Lord-level combatant.
"Proceed with your plan."
"As you command!"
Frey lowered her head, joy flashing in her eyes. "I will definitely present the loyalty of the Beast Kingdom of Eurazania and Carrion to you!"
After that, Rin gave the three women a few more words of encouragement before dispersing his thought-form.
"Rin?"
Seeing Rin suddenly close his eyes, Ogerpon, who was accompanying him as he checked the farmland's crop growth, tilted her head and asked curiously, "What's wrong, Rin?"
"Nothing."
Rin replied, "It's just that a war might be coming."
"War?"
"Like the one with Frey?"
"Yeah."
Rin said, "Only this time, there might be a lot more enemies."
