All Sin Archbishops Re Zero Novels & Stories

Amid the astonished gazes of the onlookers, Wilbur smiled and declared, "So be it. I will lead the church militia to the border. The church militia will merely observe and document, refraining from engaging in combat." "Your Holiness, I find this unwise. Perhaps we should discuss it further," hastily advised Karl, the act akin to suicide. Catherine added, "Your Excellency, I believe the Archbishop's suggestion is more reasonable." "Your Holiness, forgive my impudence, but can your strength truly contend with a thousand pre-Sanctuary, ten Sanctuary, and three Super Sanctuary level opponents simultaneously?"

The Architects tried to make us kneel. Not physically—they bent reality itself around us, making the very air demand submission. Eight hundred wolves in the square dropped to their knees, unable to resist cosmic pressure that made standing feel like defying gravity itself. But we remained upright. Barely.

Visionaries."

Helena said solemnly again, “I do!” The archbishop asked again, “Are you also willing to do to the best of your power and ability, to maintain the law of God and the teaching of the Gospel? Are you willing, to the best of your ability and strength, to uphold the doctrine established by law and the authority given to bishops and clergy by law?” Helena blurted out without hesitation, “I am willing to comply with all the above requirements and do everything in my power to fulfill all my promises. Please, God bless me!”
