Chaos God plus Primeval God.
The former had Rin as its backing, and the latter was a bug-like deletion ability.
If not for the limitations of her mental fortitude, Milim would definitely have become Rin's ace enforcer.
Of course, an Ultimate God Skill like Primeval God naturally also became part of Rin's power, just like Luo Hao's Ultimate God and Guy's Abyss God.
Rather, the mechanism by which the stronger the subordinate, the stronger Rin became, had always existed.
This was also why Rin was not worried at all about his subordinates improving. Instead, he would put even more effort into helping them become stronger.
"Rin-sama.."
While Rin was contemplating, Apito was already sweating profusely because of Milim's antics.
It was agreed that she would only eat one serving of honey.
But after Milim finished, she wanted more.
Those cries echoed in Apito's ears like demonic sounds, forcing her to appeal to Rin and hope he could restrain Milim, this super troublemaker.
Furthermore, it was not that Apito was unwilling to give Milim honey.
It was that this honey also needed to be used for various kinds of processing.
Apito herself did not have enough, so how could she watch Milim guzzle it down bucket after bucket like water?
"Alright, Milim."
"Don't cause trouble for Apito anymore."
Rin lifted Milim by the back of her collar and pulled her back to his side. "The production of honey is not high to begin with. One serving eaten is one less."
One should know that Apito's honey was no ordinary honey.
Apito was the Queen Bee, with many Special A-rank monsters called Killer Bees under her command.
These Killer Bees were extremely powerful, possessing speed like spatial teleportation, and each one could rival a Demon Lord.
However, such powerful monsters were Apito's worker bees for gathering nectar.
Using a special Unique Skill, the Killer Bees could refine the nectar again and again, thereby continuously improving the quality of the honey.
This was not all.
After the initial raw honey pulp was brewed, Apito would perform a second round of processing with magicules.
In terms of ingredient quality, the honey brewed by Apito was top-tier even in the Monster Nation.
Whether it was used for baking cakes or mixed with other seasonings to make various delicious dipping sauces, large amounts of honey were required.
And Rin could not conjure such ingredients with special effects out of thin air.
Simply put, the craftsmanship contained within it could not be deduced by mere calculation.
Only artisans imbued with heart, investing genuine emotion, could obtain the most delicious honey, and only then would it be worthy of being offered to Rin as tribute by Apito.
"Eh~"
Milim wiped the honey from her mouth, a look of dissatisfaction on her face. "So it's such a precious thing?"
"Precious or anything, not quite."
Apito explained, "But with my current strength, the amount of honey I can produce within a certain period is limited."
"Unless I continue to get stronger, even if I work day and night, I can only produce this much."
As for getting stronger, it sounded easy, but in reality, it was not simple.
Rin could indeed directly increase Apito's strength.
But both Apito and Zegion had already accumulated enough magicules within them to evolve and awaken.
However, neither of them had the immediate intention of using this power to ascend further.
Instead, they chose to proceed steadily.
First, they would mend their original injuries and damaged foundations, and then, once they had accumulated enough, they would continue to improve.
"Apito was injured before."
Rin said, "I could bestow more magicules upon her, but this would not be beneficial for her future development."
In the original work, Apito was limited by her aptitude, stopping at the early stage of an Awakened Demon Lord.
If that was Apito's full potential, Rin did not believe it.
In his opinion, Apito had simply evolved too quickly, and her foundation was unstable.
Now, if it were to happen again, Rin would definitely consider Apito and Zegion, telling them not to evolve so quickly.
If she were to rely on Rin's power to improve, Apito's future would probably end up just like that.
Frey was in a similar situation.
Frey's potential had already been largely consumed, her future achievements were limited, and Calamity Domain was seemingly a distant dream.
For Apito, she certainly would not dare dream of Divine Realm.
But Calamity Domain was something Apito wanted to try for.
Zegion's ambition was even greater. He was determined to charge toward Divine Realm, not even considering Calamity Domain as a fallback.
"I see..."
Milim showed a look of sudden realization. "I thought that as long as Daddy wanted to, he could just make anyone powerful."
"There's no such good thing."
Rin smiled and patted the pink-haired girl's head. "My subordinate transformation can only increase strength once. After that, to advance further, they can only rely on themselves."
Of course, Rin did not say one more thing.
That was, the subordinates who followed him would almost never encounter bottlenecks.
Rin was at the forefront, charging toward the limits of Divine Realm.
Then all the subordinates after him, whether breaking through Demon Lord Domain, Calamity Domain, or even Divine Realm, would find it infinitely easier than outsiders.
Rin could not let them reach heaven in a single bound.
But at crucial moments, it was very easy for him to complete the step from 99 to 100 for them.
"Mm-hmm, so Apito, will she get stronger in the future?"
"Huh?"
Apito was stunned. So after all this talk between her and Rin, what this child truly cared about was still honey.
Honey production could not go up because Apito was not strong enough yet.
Apito could not get stronger because her foundation was unstable.
So when she got stronger, there would be more honey to eat, right?
Milim's logic was just that simple and crude.
"You child, you only think about yourself."
Rin made a pun, then raised his hand and replicated a large jar of honey, stuffing it into Milim's arms. "The honey Apito personally brewed, you won't be able to eat it, so make do with this for now."
"It's honey!!"
Seeing that it was her favorite honey, Milim quickly dipped her finger into some and put it in her mouth.
"Ugh..."
How to put it?
The honey Rin conjured was indeed very delicious.
In terms of texture and taste, it was not much different from the honey Apito brewed.
"I still feel like Apito's honey is better."
Milim's feeling at this moment was like this: after seeing the ocean, no other water seems as grand.
If she had not tasted Apito's honey, then this honey would naturally have been an incomparable delicacy.
Alas, after Milim tasted the best honey, she could never go back.
