Ace wasn't disappointed when the gods complained that Rino was eating away at their divinity and ignoring the severity of the punishment quest. Ark was frustrated. Freezing time to bring Rino into a system dungeon to harvest the crops for offering while giving him free will was a test of their patience.
Although Rino's connection with his minions was severed, he still had his mana. How difficult was it to harvest the crops that Rino already grew? They made the special punishment dungeon so that harvesting was easier on Rino, and he did not need to spend time travelling between two provinces to keep up with the order requirements. Rino also made it clear that he did not feel like making his summons work overtime. His desire to shoulder all responsibilities moved Ark momentarily but now, the god was regretting it.
