As for the origin of Rin's bloodline within Milim's body, this had to start with Milim's past.
When the Star King Dragon and Luchia passed away one after the other, Milim, aside from herself and Rin, who had been entrusted with looking after the girl, actually had a pet.
After that, it was the same as in the original work.
The pet was killed, and Milim fell into a berserk state out of extreme rage.
Next came the seven-day and seven-night battle between Lord of Pride Guy and Milim, which made the foundation of the Cardinal Universe somewhat unstable.
But that was all.
The Ultimate Skill Lord of Wrath had the characteristic that the angrier one became, the stronger one's power grew.
Its upper limit was roughly around 1 billion.
However, if that level were truly reached, Milim's body would absolutely be unable to withstand it, and the only result would be death.
At that time, Milim's magicules had surged to about 200 million.
Fortunately, Milim did not have special skills like Magicules Solidification.
If it was only high magicules, it was still within Guy's tolerance.
Relying on Lord of Pride, Guy copied Lord of Wrath and, within certain limits, blocked Milim's rampage, stalling until Rin's arrival.
Although the Parallel Consciousness Rin sent out was not weak, it was only about the same as Milim after she had gone completely berserk, unable to fully suppress her.
To compare it in terms of magicules, it was probably between 100 million and 200 million, roughly considered the early stage of Divine Realm.
This was only natural.
After all, Rin could easily create thousands of Parallel Consciousnesses.
If each one possessed power at the peak of Divine Realm, then the existence of someone like the Star King Dragon would seem far too cheap.
However, although Rin successfully suppressed Milim, he could not awaken her.
Fortunately, Ramiris appeared in time and then sacrificed herself to restore Milim's consciousness.
"Because of the rampage, my body became completely broken."
Milim said, "Daddy, you gave all the bloodline in your body to me."
In other words, Rin sacrificed a Parallel Consciousness, and its power, together with Milim, who had problems due to the rampage at the time, completed that deficiency.
In a roundabout way, Rin had essentially given Milim a second life.
And indeed, his bloodline flowed within the girl's body.
She was already his nominal goddaughter and adopted daughter, and now with Rin's bloodline, Milim could naturally be considered his daughter.
"So, what about the Star King Dragon?"
"Huh?"
Milim tilted her head. "Who's that? A completely unknown fellow!"
Alright, Milim was not familiar with the Star King Dragon.
Let alone the Star King Dragon, she had not even met her mother, Luchia.
To Milim, her biological parents were like stories she had heard, seeming ethereal and unreal.
In contrast, Rin's Parallel Consciousness had accompanied her throughout her childhood, teaching her much knowledge.
If the Star King Dragon and Rin were placed on opposite ends of a scale, Milim would probably choose Rin without hesitation rather than the Star King Dragon.
To this, Rin could only say, old man, with this move of yours, you've lost both your daughter and your army!
"Alright then."
Understanding everything, Rin gently patted Milim's head.
Thanks to the memories brought by the Parallel Consciousness, Rin no longer felt any unfamiliarity toward Milim.
"Hehe~"
Milim held Rin's hand and laughed. "I can finally leave this wretched place. If you hadn't told me to wait here, Dad, I would have run off long ago."
Although she was still that innocent and lively pink-haired girl, because of Rin's intervention, Milim was not as ignorant as she had been in the original story.
At least she would not act like a puppet for Clayman just for fun, getting punched and kicked without batting an eye as she did in the original.
"Ah?"
Milim's words did not bother the others, but Middray completely lost his composure. "Y-you're leaving already? No, Lord Milim~~"
"I don't want to stay!"
Milim said, "The food here is so bad, I don't want to stay here!"
Yes, Milim had truly had enough of the customs of the Dragon Country during her years there.
It was fine in the original story, since Milim had not eaten many good things.
But with Rin, Milim's childhood had been like that of a princess, incredibly happy.
Unfortunately, after Rin's departure, Milim's life began to become difficult.
Do not think it was only about good food. Could Milim not cook it herself?
In fact, despite Milim being a girl, she had lived in the Cardinal World for countless years.
And in ancient times, human society was still in a primitive and savage state.
So, let alone delicious dishes, there were not even many kinds of seasonings back then.
Fortunately, at Milim's level, eating and drinking were no longer necessary.
Even without eating or drinking, Milim would not feel hungry.
This was also why Milim had been able to stay in the wretched Dragon Country until today.
If Rin had not instructed her to wait obediently for him to return.
Milim would probably have already let herself go, traveling the world in search of delicious food and fun things.
"...You've suffered."
Rin stroked Milim's head. "Let's go, I'll take you back to the Monster Nation. From now on, just tell Dad whatever you want to eat."
"Really?"
Milim happily hugged Rin's waist. "Dad, you're the best~"
Middray watched this touching scene, heartbroken.
Although seeing Milim reunited with her father made Middray very happy.
The thought that Milim would leave the Dragon Country from now on, and that even whether the City of the Forgotten Dragon would continue to exist was now in question.
Middray felt a wave of confusion, not knowing what the future held.
"Oh, and Frey."
Rin naturally had not forgotten Middray and the Dragon Country.
Rin would not miss such a large territory.
However, after all, he was now a monarch, and for such matters, Rin only needed to determine the general direction.
As for the specific details and how to implement them, that was not his job.
"Here!"
"You will be responsible for arranging things here in the Dragon Country."
Rin said, "After the Demon Lord Feast concludes, the four countries in the southwest of the continent will all fall under the Monster Nation."
"Please rest assured, I will handle this matter together with Carrion."
"Alright, Elder Middray."
Frey respectfully saw Rin and Milim off, then turned to the bald man and said, "There is no need to be sad. Milim leaving with Rin-sama is not a bad thing for the Dragon Country, or for you Dragon Faithful."
"On the contrary, this is a great opportunity," Frey smiled. "You should know that even the former Lizardmen have become noble Dragon under Rin-sama's grace."
