Alright, thank you for all the criticism and questions, I try my best to answer them all. Please note that I usually answer them in PM, but if you are a guest, I can't do that, so I will be answering when I update. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Alright so Guest:
"Rimuru is not the type of guy who explains his plans out loud, he mocks those who do that". Since when was Rimuru stating his plan out loud? All he was doing was trying to negotiate. Do you mean when he said: "I am going to assume...", that was him trying to hint that they could negotiate, and he was blunt, to convince them, since they were attacking him. He did not state his plan, he just stated something as if wishing to compromise. As for anything in italics, its thoughts.
"A Noble Phantasm is a weapon or a technique the user is known for". Thank you for saying this, but at the same time, the Noble Phantasm reflects the user, that's what I meant when I said that the NP reflects the soul. Artoria Pendragon wished for Victory and Salvation for her country, so she got the sword of Promised Victory. Cu Chillan wished to fight others, hence he got a spear that could pierce human hearts. Of course, the Cu example is hollow, but I know that a NP represents their legacy and their legend, thereby reflecting their soul, their decisions, their life. That's what I meant.
As for Jeanne, how her eyes are blue not purple, she's a martyr and never flinches unless sins. Ok so I based her character in my story on Laeticia and her merging, I found it suited my story better, especially for the Sieg x Jeanne, since Sieg wanted to be her strength.
Rimuru is technically 15 years old (as a slime), but he is not in his teenage rebellious phase, he's "a mature adult" with a childish side, which I augmented in the story for humor.
The reason why Ciel talked to Shizue is because its been 10 years, and only Veldora, Ciel, and maybe Chloe know about Ciel, so she talks to them. Remember, Ciel was the one that answered Shizue's call, aided Rimuru in reviving her, so she recognized her. Over time, she developed a rivalry with her and perhaps Chloe.
Finally, the spear is thrown its an Anti army, when its thrust it reverses causality. I am well aware, however, I wanted to make it more "dynamic", so to speak, so I fused the techniques. Note that this will be the one time that I do this. Apologies for the slight confusion.
Also, for APITO, I FIXED IT. Don't know what I was thinking. Its now before her evolution, before Zegion's demon lord evolution.
Now thats all, see you guys later! (PS: I try to make my chapters 1,500 - 2,000 words to get the weekly update. Tell me if you want to either have a longer text, but a monthly update, or a weekly update but shorter. I will be creating a poll.)

A cheat like technique, that would have ensured the death of anyone in front of him. This power, however, was all for naught. Sadly, those who wield Ultimate Skills can also reverse the nature of causality, as a wielder of an Ultimate Skill controls the law of nature as well. What's more, as a slime, Rimuru does not have a heart, essentially making this one shot kill technique completely useless. In other words, to Rimuru, who can control time, space, the void, the cosmos, and create and destroy anything in existence, it was just a fast spear. The person in question, Rimuru, was completely unaware of this.
As the spear flew towards him, Rimuru accelerated his thoughts by 1,000,000 times, easily watching the spear slow down as it approached him. He then quickly absorbed the energy surrounding the spear using {Void God Azathoth}, in order to prevent further destruction, before plucking the red spear right out of the air.
After he caught the spear, he tapped its tip twice on his other hand, before twirling it over his head. He then planted the tip of the spear into the ground, let go, and started to clap.
"Well, that was an amazing throw." Rimuru stated. "However, since I have withstood your technique, can you now agree to my terms? Of course, I never really had the chance to state them in the first place…"
He then observed the group in front of him. To his shock, all of them had their mouths agape, staring at him as if he was some kind of monstrosity. The ones that were the most surprised were none other than Cú Chulainn and his teacher Scáthach (the one in purple with red spears).
"How da hell did you pull that off?!" yelled Cú.
"Indeed, I would like to understand how in the world did you completely nullify the spear that warps causality…" added Scáthach
"Warps causality?" asked Rimuru.
"Wait so you didn't even realise?" asked Romani, his hair messed up as he stared straight at Rimuru.
Meanwhile, Da Vinci was busy writing notes and theories in a notebook, muttering to herself, eyes glued to the paper.
"Hey Ciel, what are they saying, warps causality?"
["To answer Master's question, the Spear that they launched has the ability to manipulate cause and effect. In other words, once the spear is thrown and its name, Gáe Bolg, is stated, the spear will make the cause "the spear was thrust" make the effect "the heart was pierced" true. In other words, the moment the technique is launched, the heart will be pierced no matter what."]
"OI, WAIT, so I completely nullified his ace in the hole without even knowing its full capabilities. My question: why did it not affect me? Is it because of you Ciel, or because I have Ultimate Skills?"
["The Spear itself bends causality, however, those with Ultimate Skills also alter natural laws, so the spear itself is similar to that of an Ultimate Skill, except that it is much more limited, and based on the hero's legend. It can change should the hero's legend change in time. This time, however, my interference, along with the interference of your Ultimate Skills, was unnecessary, considering the fact that you have no heart. After all, you are a slime, Master. What's more, I protected your spirit origin just in case. The Spirit Origin is basically the core of a servant. Also, please stop comparing this dog to Apito, Apito can move at the speed of light, or even faster. This Lancer cannot compare."]
"In any other context, that insult, the fact that I had no heart, would've hurt… As for Apito, my bad… But don't call Lancer a dog..."
Rimuru then thought for a moment for a potential excuse to give them regarding the spear that was thrown.
"I will just tell them that I don't have a physical heart in my body and leave it at that. Also, I just thought of another thing. Why did I have to chant to call upon Shizue? Don't you have the skill {Cancel Chant} or something?"
["... … … … … …"]
"Oi, I asked a question Ciel."
["And I gave no response."]
"Ciel, you are avoiding the question, why did you make me chant when I could've avoided chanting."
Ciel then started ranting, to Rimuru's utter surprise.
["BECAUSE MASTER, it makes you look badass. You sounded perfect, acted perfectly, and freaked them ALL OUT. AS SUITED FOR MY MASTER. The moment you showed up, they should have bowed. NOT LAUNCH AN ARROW AT YOU! Not to mention that NO ONE OTHER THAN SHIZUE SAW IT! TOO BAD FOR THEM. As your first wife Master, I call dibs on every single moment that you act badass. I will save every single event for all of time, and brag about it to your other "consorts". This time, I even got a picture of you chanting! It looks amazing!"]
"OI CIEL, you can't just do that… that is so unreasonable...and SINCE WHEN DID YOU HAVE A CAMERA IN THERE? I KNOW YOU ARE HAVE PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY AND STUFF BUT STILL!"
["Hmmm~Hmmm~Hmmm~HMMM~~~La~la~la~la~~~~"]
"OH FORGET IT!"
Rimuru then turned his attention back to the other servants. Most had not dropped their guards, but also eyed him with a bit of understanding. After all, Rimuru had stated that he wished to negotiate.
"Ok, so my condition for explaining my previous actions, though not the ones I have just taken, was to simply sit at a table, and have a discussion. Believe it or not, I rather avoid violence wherever possible."
"""WHAAAAAAT?!""" roared Ritsuka, Romani, Mashu, Emiya Archer, among others.
"You heard me. It's not my fault you guys attacked me first." said Rimuru, before pointedly staring at Emiya Archer.
Many other servants stared at him as well.
"Yo Archer, the kid has a point. Besides, aren't you a more cautious and analytical type?" asked Cú.
"Oh shut up, Cú. I would like to see you try and hold back if you see a monster in front of you, calmly stating that something was interesting. I have some bad experiences with people when they say that. Kirei...Kiara...among others. I suddenly had the urge. Not to mention that menacing aura…"
"Menacing aura?" thought Rimuru. "Wait, I thought the mask completely nullified my aura? Ciel, what happened?"
["I believe this is because you put on the mask in transit while being summoned. The aura that you were subconsciously unleashing against Zelretch, as any powerful being emits an aura to test one another, was absorbed when you were summoned in your clone. After all, your clone was still in the area where you were emitting your aura against Zelretch, while your main body left to go to {Imaginary Space}."]
"Yea, guess that makes sense. {Spirit Dragon Haki} has a lot mixed into it. There is {Menace}... I forget the rest. Same thing with Shizue and {True Hero Haki}, right? Damn it, couldn't Zelretch have blocked that off…"
["Perhaps he could have, however, even if he could, analyzing his personality, it seems like he would have not done so, to make things more interesting…"]
"DAMN THAT TROLL! Well, no point in telling them now..."
As Rimuru was pondering how to efficiently hurt Zelretch in the most painful way possible as revenge for this mess, Romani then spoke.
"How about we all calm down and have a cup of tea or something, your treat, Archer. Then we can all talk about this fiasco. Would the honorable lady that caused this ruckus be willing to wait a while before starting discussions?" Romani finished, addressing Rimuru.
Rimuru sighed, before answering.
"I would like to get something clear with all of you. My servant class is Foreigner. My sex is Male. So stop addressing me as she or her. It's he or him.
"I am technically genderless, but I identify myself as male. Not to mention I could get a son… if only Ciel let me…"
["DE-NIED!"]
"Awww…"
"""HUUUH?!""" yelled the group in front of him.
"Yes, I am a male. So please, no lady."
"Well, it's not like you are the only servant that is a male, but looks female…" muttered Ritsuka, eyeing Astolfo, who arrived just now. "The classic trap." he then thought.
"I can hear you." said Rimuru telepathically, scaring the daylights out of Ritsuka. The others, however, were unaware of this exchange.
"Alright." said Da Vinci, finally lifting her face from her notepad. "Let's prepare the treats, the drinks, the table, and meet in the Cafeteria. I assume you want to limit the amount of Servants that show up?"
"Preferably yes." stated Rimuru.
As such, the group then left the battered and broken summoning room, heading to the cafeteria...
