So, All of You, Reflect on Yourselves!
Meteora honestly replied, "When you arrive in a completely unfamiliar place, shouldn't the first thing you do be to find someone you have a connection with and rely on?"
"Really,"
Kubo pondered, "So, they're 'distant relatives'...?"
"Secondly, it's out of curiosity."
Meteora's eyelids drooped slightly. "I'm also curious about what the 'god' who created us looks like. If he's someone who enjoys manipulating the fate of characters... I don't know what I would do."
Thankfully, I'm usually quite restrained—cold sweat slowly seeped from Kubo's forehead.
"And there's one more crucial point."
As if to reassure her, Iori said gently, "To protect you."
"Huh? Me?"
Kubo asked, puzzled, "Will I encounter any danger?"
"Uniform Princess"
Iori said seriously, "There must be a reason why she specifically brought us to the World of the Living. If she needs our power for something, then she's very likely to focus her attention on a manga artist like you."
After all, you created us, and you know all our secrets and weaknesses!
"I see... that makes sense."
Kubo breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness, you found me first. But what if the Uniform Princess comes knocking on our door next... shall we fight?"
"If she is willing to do so."
"Is it impossible to resolve this through conversation...?"
Kubo Ei said with difficulty, "In the manga, of course, nothing happens, but fighting in reality... is not a good thing for this city."
"Only the victors need to think about how to clean up the mess, but before that, it's better to think about how to survive and how to protect what's important."
Iori spoke seriously at first, then her expression softened. "However, you don't need to consider this, because finding you and protecting you are my decisions alone."
You bear no responsibility; I was merely seeing things through to the end.
"Hmm..."
Kubo Ei felt Iori's intense gaze upon her from a distance, and his seemingly alive words made her feel her body temperature rise slightly.
"Well, then I'll leave it to you. You're so cute, oh no, so reliable."
Although you're not a character I created, you have a familiar feeling about you... You'd be perfect as a protagonist, Iori ~

[Acknowledgment & the Power of Existence]
Type: Art Style Bond.
Quality:...
Grade:...
Rewards Overview:
Art style +1;
[Recognition Power] +1;
This can be viewed as an equal sum of Art Style Value;
By imprinting one's existence onto the "Boundary Record Band (World Memory)" of the world one inhabits, the higher the Recognition Power, the more complete the record, and the more fame one gains within the world, as well as a corresponding "rank".
Popularity is calculated separately from regional and mythological popularity, and the effects can be cumulative.
The magnitude of the bonus depends on the current world strength and value.
With Recognition Power of around 30, one's fame can be compared to that of "Odysseus," meaning that while the story is widely known throughout the world, it is not universally recognized.
If it's 60, then it's to the point where Heracles is not only a household name but also has an influence on many cultural activities.
Existing: 1;
[Presence Power] +1;
This can be viewed as an equal sum of Art Style Value;
The higher the value, the clearer one's "existence" in the world and the greater one's resistance to external interference.
This "resistance" is not limited to physical or True Magic; in addition to the mental realm, it can even resist "meaning erasure" or "concept manipulation."
If the value is above 30, one is immune to the ability of prophecy to manipulate fate (it has been detected that one already has corresponding countermeasures).
A value of 60 or higher can ignore annihilation attacks targeting the entity itself.
For example, if you are Servant, then with Presence Power of 60 or higher, you will be immune to the Demon God King's "Anti-Summoning".

Chapter 447 So you all need to reflect on this!
In an abandoned factory building in the suburbs, the ceiling was torn open as if struck by a meteorite, with huge holes extending from the rooftop to the ground floor. The powerful impact did not collapse the building, leaving the holes in a near-circular shape, demonstrating the speed and precision of the impact.
Plants grew out of the cracks, and the broken pipes, long unusable, were still dripping water. Everything was hidden in the shadows, with only a few rays of sunlight shining through the large hole above, but even those were blocked by layers of light, making it as quiet as Abyss.
On the bottom floor, a red sofa that seemed out of place on the cracked cement floor sat elegantly with her legs crossed, Uniform Princess iridescent square eyes gazing at a spot in the shadows.
Footsteps gradually sounded, and a confident smile slowly appeared on her lips.
"Does Your Excellency no longer require further investigation?"
"It's over."
His upper body, exposed to the air, featured strong, well-defined muscles, and tattoos formed from condensed magic resembled the teeth marks of a wild beast. He was a tall man carrying no equipment other than a helmet and trousers.
"I've verified it myself, and it seems I have indeed arrived in New World."
"This level of True Magic is beyond the capabilities of even the strongest mage in my clan. And since I encountered such a thing while gathering intelligence, I can only assume what you're saying is true."
As the wind blew, a magazine was thrown to the ground, and the flipped-up page depicted a man's image.
But what's really subtle is that there's another person in the scene who looks like a knight in armor, and is... well, it's hard to describe, but in short, it's a pose and movement that would make some women scream with excitement.
As for the dialogue, it was even more unbearable to listen to.
"How blasphemous!"
The black mist, almost visible to the naked eye, vibrated through the air, and the man's voice was extremely deep. "Just as you said, this world undoubtedly needs a cleansing!"
"There's no need to be so angry. It's only natural that popular characters would receive this kind of treatment."
"However, such depraved humans no longer deserve to live in this world."
The man was unusually angry!
It wasn't because of the BL doujinshi that were published, but because those people put him together with the guy they hated the most.
That's bad enough—they actually dared to turn the mighty Demon King into a "passive" party!
Are you kidding me!
How could I possibly willingly submit to that disgusting pervert who was good for nothing but strength and whose death was so ridiculous?!
"... Didn't you go and read the 'Original Work'?"
The Military Princess asked thoughtfully.
The man snorted coldly, "I'm a man who makes all his own decisions, and I won't let anything like fate influence my path."
"So that's how it is" —Military Princess the Unassailable, but inwardly she sneered.
If the man in front of him knew his fate, his anger would be far more than just about BL doujinshi.
Well, it's something that makes it impossible to even laugh...
"Anyway, I never had any good feelings towards humans, so it's only natural that such a weak race would be destroyed."
"Oh dear, we mustn't let Mamika hear these words."
The Military Princess smiled faintly.
She successfully persuaded Mamika to temporarily join her side, but that Magical Girl is ultimately on the side of "Love and Justice." Once she discovers that the Military Princess is just fooling her, she will definitely switch sides without hesitation.
"That little girl who looks human?"
"She is human."
"How naive! You actually believed that you summoned us 'characters' into reality to save those fantasy worlds on the verge of destruction."
The man crossed his arms and looked at the Military Princess with a scrutinizing gaze from under his helmet, recalling the words she used to recruit others.
—— [Saving Yourself and the World's Fate]
This is the divine realm where the gods (creators) reside. Countless fantasy worlds originate from here, and a single line of text from their pens can stir up huge waves in the fantasy world, and even the fate of the entire world is entirely in their hands.
The creators themselves may not feel anything special, but the characters, whose lives have been predetermined, can truly feel the happiness and sadness within it.
There must exist people whose lives are perfectly fulfilling and without any regrets.
But those who suffer misfortune are probably many times more likely to regret it!
When these people are given a chance by the Military Princess to "change everything," that is, to directly change the setting of the work in reality, thereby saving the world and making up for regrets—how will they choose?
Let Guts go back to before he rescued Griffith;
Giorno saved Bucciarati in time;
Luffy pulled Ace back as he turned around;
Who can refuse a chance to start over?
Aside from Eren, there probably isn't anyone else.
However, even the ever-advancing Free Titans can choose IF worldline "the Titan Power has never appeared".
Such a touching and even soul-stirring allure is irresistible to almost anyone, Mamika is one of them (although she has no regrets, she hopes the world can be more peaceful and people can be happier).
Those who choose to reject Military Princess are mostly people who don't trust her as a person, don't think that the worldview of the work can be changed so easily, and choose to explore it on their own... rather than being truly without desires.
"Although Miss Mamika is an innocent girl, she is undoubtedly Magus can wield enormous power. Even Your Majesty the Demon King should be cautious."
"Magus ... If she were a warrior of the same level, I would be interested in fighting her."
"There will be opportunities. If you want to change this 'divine realm,' you will surely encounter many powerful enemies on your way forward. At that time, you will have to rely on your strength."
"Since you have joined my ranks, I will naturally provide you with protection."
"I am your ally, Oppai-dono."
The Military Princess offered her reminder in a manner that was neither humble nor arrogant.
Don't call me that name!!!
That's not the pronunciation or meaning in my language at all!
The Demon King suddenly roared, shaking the entire floor.
"Damn god... Aaaaah! How dare you defile the warrior's name!"
"That's a real headache."
"Maou! That's how you pronounce 'Demon King' in Japanese!"
"... Then you'll be stuck with other characters."
The Uniform Princess frowned, but did not continue to object.
"Therefore, I will grant your wish, as long as you are willing to join forces with me."
"I'll lend you my power for now. Since I was summoned to this world all alone, I am no longer the Demon King, but merely a warrior."
That way I can fight without any worries!
The Demon King said bitterly, "Men should fuck women, and women should fuck men!"
Just as humans should have sex with humans, monsters should have sex with monsters, and adult beings should have sex with adult beings!
Degenerate and foolish, even insulting the honor of warriors—O 'god' who created me, you are not worthy to live on!"
