| “ | No matter how a person acted in life, death is a simple matter. Those who have accomplished great feats, those who have committed great sins; death treats them equally, stealing their lives in the same way. In this gravely unjust world, it’s one of the few truly just parts of life. Precisely because they know that the end will inevitably come, the living shouldn’t pursue too much happiness while they live. Therefore, I am extremely satisfied with the low threshold of my happiness. And if I am 『Greed』, it’s only because I’m always eager to appreciate what I do have, and what I will come to have. If I were never satisfied myself with the amount I have, I would never be happy in my lifetime. But fortunately, I was born with a unique gift. The sensibility of finding satisfaction in simple joys. My satisfied self wants to know, are you satisfied with death? If so, congratulations on your death. If not, then those are the words of fate. | „ |

Summary
Regulus Corneas is a Sin Archbishop of the Witch Cult, representing Greed. He is the most infamous Sin Archbishop alongside Sloth, as he is the strongest within the Cult and the scale of his rare attacks are massive. He is known to have appeared in the fortified Vollachian city of Garkla 15 years before the main story due to rumours of a Witch's artifact being sold there, and ended up single-handedly destroying the whole city- killing all of the soldiers stationed there, including the Vollachian hero Eight-Arms Kurgan.
Powers and Stats
Tier: 10-B
Name: Regulus Corneas, Husband-sama, Greed
Origin: Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu
Gender: Male
Age: 110+
Classification: Human, Sin Archbishop of the Witch Cult
Powers and Abilities:
- Superhuman Physical Characteristics
- Immortality (Type 1; Regulus doesn't age[1] due to his ability)
- Physics Manipulation (With his ability Regulus can ignore all the rules of the world,[2] which allows him to do the impossible such as extracting enough liquid to fill a 25 yard pool[3] and then turning each and every droplet of water into a deadly attack he rains down on his target[3])
- Self-Sustenance (Types 1, 2 & 3; With the time of his body stopped, Regulus has no need to perform bodily functions such as eating[2])
- Flight (Said to be able to just come right back[4] after being thrown into space, can ignore all the rules of the world including gravity)
- Aura (Fear Inducing; Regulus' presence[5] causes others to experience extreme fear)
- Supernatural Willpower (Even with every single bone in his body shattered, and his organs all badly damaged, he was still alive due to his hollow vanity of looking down on others[2])
- Invisibility (Regulus's attacks are invisible[3])
- Water Walking (Regulus can walk on water[3])
- Danmaku (Can attack with literal water, each and every droplet is deadly[3])
- BFR (Threw Reinhard to the Moon[6])
- Spatial Manipulation (Can cut through space[6])
- Time Stop, Durability Negation & Invulnerability (As the time of Regulus' body is stopped, Regulus cannot experience change, meaning he cannot get injured or even get wet in water,[6] and it allows him to ignore all the rules of the world itself.[2] Regulus can stop time for all sorts of objects[6]. With the time of an object stopped it won't experience change; not getting injured, not getting wet etc. This extends beyond the physical, as Shamak which manipulates the senses[7] doesn't work on him, and Regulus was fine interacting with[7] Sirius, whose Authority works just by hearing her voice, seeing her, or being in her presence. Sirius authority works on the soul itself, and brainwashes others. The objects he throws such as dirt or water has their time stopped, and thus can't be stopped by the things they hit, simply passing through, regardless of how durable they are[6])
- Matter Manipulation (Regulus can control the matter of objects[3] under his Authority to an unknown extent, allowing him to push a meter-worth of a building away like it's a woodblock tower[6])
- Non-Physical Interaction (He is able to kill Puck, meaning he can harm his Od)
- Limited Precognition (Archbishops have gospel's which tells them the future[8], however the gospel's are incomplete and it's contents are vague[9], varying depending upon the interpretation)
Resistance to:
- Fear Manipulation (Having a Witch Factor grants resistance to a Witch's aura which causes fear[10])
- Madness Manipulation, Soul Manipulation & Mind Manipulation, Poison Manipulation (Type 3; Witch Factor holders are unaffected by Witch's Miasma that can cause people to go insane, and corrupts their soul. Effecting the soul also effects the mind[11] as the mental[11] has been equated to the spiritual[12]. Miasma is poisonous when consumed[13], and causes great suffering to those who eat it[14])
Attack Potency: Human level (He is a regular person[15]), can negate durability with his Authority
Speed: Average Human (He is a normal person with no combat training), FTL with his Authority (Using his Authority, Regulus can free himself from gravity, air resistance, and conservation of momentum, giving him enough speed to shock even[6] Reinhard van Astrea)
Lifting Strength: Unknown (With his Authority, he can bypass any object's weight entirely)
Striking Strength: Human level
Durability: At most Mountain level (Even without his Authority he was able to survive 53 consecutive attacks[16] from Emilia)
Stamina: Infinite (With his time stopped Regulus' body no longer carries out its normal functions, he no longer ages, doesn't need to eat, drink or breath, he also never gets tired)
Range: Planetary (Regulus was able to toss Reinhard to the Moon[6])
Standard Equipment: His harem and the Gospel, which is a black book that lists the holder's future, it only contains vague details which lead to the future the holder desires.
Intelligence: Average
Weaknesses: Multiple uses of his ability can be deadly as his own heart stops when using it; however, it can be circumvented by merging his Heart with his wives. Killing all his wives will make him unable to use his ability for more than 5 seconds at a time without risking a heart failure. Regulus relies a lot on his ability: besides his ability, he is an amateur when it comes to fighting. His Authority does not increase his reaction speed, meaning he can only travel in a straight lines if moving at superhuman speeds.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Authority of Greed: Regulus' Authority of Greed can be divided into two abilities– his simultaneously offensive and defensive time-stopping power: Lion's Heart, and his ability to share his heart to his wives: Little King.
- Lion's Heart: This ability allows Regulus to stop the time of any object he is touching, be it dirt, sand, water, blood, humans, or himself, cutting it off from the world's flow of time and turning it into a distortion in space. Because the object's time is stopped, it cannot be changed at all- meaning it cannot be damaged, it ignores all physical laws in the world, and generally cannot be interacted with in the most basic of ways like becoming wet in water.
- Defensive use of Lion's Heart: Regulus has Lion's Heart active on his own heart constantly without need for activation or thinking about it. Stopping his heart's time grants him the total invincibility of Lion's Heart and only allows his body to receive the force and knockback of attacks while remaining invincible. However, he can consciously activate Lion's Heart upon the rest of his body to become totally unmovable, as all objects that come into contact with him will be completely rejected by his body and utterly erased without a trace, but due to his body's nature of rejecting any object he touches, he must stop the time of whatever he is touching, as to not destroy the object, and stop the time of what he is walking on as to not fall through it (should he not choose to ignore gravity). The invincibility granted by Lion's Heart extends beyond just making his body invulnerable, but also makes interacting directly with his senses, mind, and soul, totally impossible, as well as allowing him to survive without ever feeling a need to eat, drink, sleep, breathe- he won't even sweat or age under the effect of Lion's Heart. The weakness of this seemingly perfect defense is that Regulus can only stop his heart's time for 5 seconds before he must unfreeze it it as he risks heart failure, but this can be circumvented through his secondary ability: Little King.
- Offensive use of Lion's Heart: Regulus uses Lion's Heart on every-day objects such as dirt, sand, or pebbles, in order to transform them into deadly projectiles that pierce any and all defenses. Because an object under the effect of Lion's Heart cannot experience change and outside influence, ignoring the rules of the world, it will pierce straight through any object or person it comes into contact with- shredding buildings and people alike, turning them into rubble and red bloody mist. Essentially anything can be imbued with Lion's Heart and used as a weapon by Regulus, even air from waving his hand or his own breath can slice through and gore anything it touches. Regulus can even imbue people he touches with Lion's Heart in order to fling them away with impossible momentum that cannot be slowed, leaving cartoonish person-shaped holes in whatever they pass through. As well as this, Regulus is free to manipulate objects imbued with Lion's Heart to his heart's content, turning water into a floating cube or a rising pillar, and manipulating the structure of buildings as if he's playing with a Rubik's Cube. The weakness of this seemingly perfect offense is that stopping the time of and manipulating objects outside of his own body is extremely difficult for Regulus to manage consciously, but this can be circumvented through his secondary ability: Little King.
- Little King: This ability allows Regulus to merge a pseudo heart into the heart of any woman he considered to be his wife. The woman's heartbeat would pump his smaller pseudo heart even when Regulus' actual heart was cut off from time, freeing him from the 5 second restriction of Lion's Heart. Freed from this restriction, Regulus is able to remain in a permanent state of invincibility as he has been for well over a century, and he can utilize his many applications of Lion's Heart upon other objects without need for conscious control, making using his Authority far easier. In order to mitigate the risk of losing the effect of Little King, Regulus collected a large harem of women as his wives- currently numbering 52- and keeps them in secure locations when he goes out to fulfill his duties as a Sin Archbishop. Little King has an unspecified limit on it's range where Regulus must be able to "feel his wive's love nearby," but it at least exceeds 100 kilometers as he is able to return from space.
