That’s not related to power whatsoever. I don’t even know why you’re using that statement at all.
When it’s said that Maria could become the "greatest creator", it’s only referring to the fact that, since she’s a little girl with autism, she keeps her heart pure and will never lose her creativity, which basically means she’ll never get bored.
"Screenwriters" in-verse are Lords of territory, as I explained in my blog about canonicity in the section about Beako.

Creators are a nothingness devoid of any property / limitations. The concept of "strength" or "power" is completely irrelevant.
1: My argument would still work, what exactly would be the logic of Tier 0 (Omnipotent) beings feeling boredom and the like? An Omnipotent being is not capable of feeling such things.
2: Territory lords are representations of story protagonists, Battler himself and the Cats Overlords are examples of this.
Yes, Creators are "transcendental voids," which I didn't deny, but this doesn't negate anything I said; they are still representations of writers. And literally, Ryukishi explains that Creators are writers:
Question 3: そもそもフェザリーズとは、どういう存 在なのでしょう? A 『Ep6』のTipsで、フェザリーヌ が「生き死にを繰り返している」とあったのは、 フェザリーヌ自身が駒だった頃、自分たちも 誰かにライティングされている登場人物であ るという事実を知り、自由意志と信じて疑 わなかったことが、誰かにライティングされ ている物だと気づいたために死んじゃったん ですよね。でも彼女は、自らもライターとな って帰ってきた。 そして恥も外聞もなく、自 分の作品の中に自分を描くことで真の自由 意志を得た。彼女は今、リレーマンガのよ うな世界にいるのかもしれないですね。自 分のキャラは自分で書くけど、それ以外は 複数のライターが書いているような世界に 存在しているのかもしれません。 Question 4: 航海者が造物主になるのを恐れるとい うのは、そのあたりに由来するのでしょうか? A: そうですね。 マンガって読んで いるときは面白いけど、いずれ読み飽きち ゃう。でも白いノートを与えられて自分で書いていれば無限に遊べるので、マンガを読 むより遙かに面白いかもしれない。ただし、 自分のアイデアが枯渇したり、描く行為に 飽きたら終わりますよね。しかも自分(作者) の望まないような展開やキャラクターは生ま れてこない。造物主というのは何でも生み 出せるが故につまらない生き物ですよ。 Question 5: ------ 他人が作った面白い話を読めなくなる んですね。 A: 造物主でないほうが、TVの前 に座っていればどんどん物語を見ることが できるのと同じで楽なんですよ。人間は、 自分が誰かの作品の登場人物であることす ら自覚しておらず、自由意志によって行動 していると信じているので、一番気楽な存 在です。 一方でベルンやラムダたちは、チャンネ ルを自由に変えたり、ときどきシナリオライ ターに注文をつけて、話に介入できる階層。 ただし介入すると物語が変わってしまうの で、その事実はギリギリまで知らないふりを している。 フェザリーヌは、そこに踏み込ん で死んでしまったんでしょう。 白紙のノート に妄想するのは楽しいけど、そこにずっと話 を書き続けるのはかなりしんどいので、魔 女は死んでしまうわけですね。魔女というの は、「自分たちは、誰かの創作物じゃないか」 ということに気づき始めていて、なおかつ 異なる創作物を閲覧できる立場にいる者で、 上に行けば行くほど執筆者の立場に近づい ていき、本当に執筆者の域まで到達すると 終わってしまう。真里亞が「原初の魔女」と 呼ばれた理由は、飽きることなく、ゼロから ドンドンとアイデアや世界を膨らませていけ るからなんです。
Translation:
Question 3: What kind of existence is Featherine anyway?
A: In the tips of Ep6, it was said that Featherine "constantly repeats a cycle of life and death." When Featherine herself was a piece, she realized that she was a character being written by someone, and what she had believed to be free will was being written by someone else. That's why she died. But she came back as a writer herself and found true free will by drawing herself in her own work, without shame or embarrassment. She may now be in a world of relay manga. She may exist in a world where she writes her own characters, but other characters are written by several writers.
Fear of the Voyagers becoming a creator, and why Maria is the promised witch to being the strongest creator
Question 4: Is that where the Voyager's fear of becoming a Creator comes from?
A: That's right. Manga is interesting when you read it, but eventually, you get tired of reading it. But if you are given a blank notebook and write in it yourself, you can play with it endlessly, which is much more interesting than reading manga. However, if you run out of ideas or get bored with the act of drawing, it's over. Moreover, you (the artist) will not be able to create characters or developments that you do not want. A Creator is a boring creature because they can create anything they want.
Question 5: ---You won't be able to read interesting stories made by others
A: It's easier to not be a creator, just like it's easier to sit in front of the TV and watch more and more stories. Humans are the most comfortable because they don't even know they are characters in someone else's work, and they believe they are acting of their own free will. On the other hand, Bern, Lambda, and the rest of the hierarchy can intervene in the story by changing the channel at will and occasionally giving orders to the scenario writer. However, they pretend not to know this fact until the very last minute, because it would change the story. I think that's what killed Featherine. It's fun to fantasize in a blank notebook, but it's very hard to keep writing stories in it, so the witch dies. Witches are those who have begun to realize that they are someone else's creation, and they are in a position to view different creations. The reason why Maria was called "the Witch of Origins" is because she can expand her ideas and world from scratch without ever getting bored.
Ryukishi's main idea with the Creators is that they are representations of the screenwriters; the screenwriters are supreme beings over what they write, just like the Creators.
And finally, FAA is nothing more
than a self-insert of Ryukishii07, acting as the strongest character in his own work (Umineko). Further supporting the idea of Creators=Screenwriters.
Also, the source of the interviews are the
Shinsou Kaimei Dokuhon of Episode 8.
