C World, their meeting

When Kuro no Kishidan invaded Shikine Island, on a remote island not far from Shikine Island Noah and C.C walked side by side. This island was Kamine Island, where one of the thought elevators was located.

"Noah, how is your Geass now?" C.C asked curiously. Because Noah rarely used Geass, she didn't know if Noah's Geass power had increased.

"Although I rarely use it, but the power of my Geass continues to increase, maybe it won't be long before I can take the Code" said Noah answering C.C's question.

"By the way, C.C, can we enter C World now from the thought elevator on this island?" Noah asked C.C

C.C smiled faintly, as if remembering the various experiences they had gone through. "Sure. C World is a place full of possibilities, Noah. However, we have to be careful. Entering there is not a trivial matter. Are you sure you want to do it now?"

Noah nodded "I feel like it's time. My Geass power is getting stronger, and I want to understand more about Code and souls"

"Alright, we'll do it. But remember, when we enter C World, never forget who you are"

C.C nodded, agreeing with Noah's decision.

"You don't have to worry, C World won't affect me." Noah said with confidence, he was sure with his own strength, he was able to face anything that might happen in C World.

C World is a higher dimension or space that encompasses all possibilities and human experiences. In C World, individual souls are connected to each other and to the collective consciousness of humanity.

**Collective Consciousness**: Individual souls are connected to C World, meaning that every individual action and decision can affect the collective consciousness. This creates a close relationship between the individual and society.

C World is a place where all possibilities and results of human actions can be seen. It is a place where souls gather, and is part of the concept of destiny and decisions. C World reflects the idea that every action has a consequence, and that individuals have the power to choose their own path, although the outcome may be predetermined in some way, but this of course has no effect on Noah, every decision he makes will only create new possibilities without the outcome being predetermined.

Although Noah is not from this world, but since he received Geass from C.C, he has been connected to C World or the collective consciousness of humanity. But as Desperado, he is not bound by the destiny that exists in C world.

Entering the ruins on Kamine Island, Noah and C.C stand in front of a large gate filled with unknown runes. On the gate is a large Code symbol.

Noah and C.C hold hands and place their hands on the gate, a few moments later the Code mark on the gate glows with a bright red light. When the light disappears Noah and C.C are no longer there.

Opening his eyes, what appears in front of Noah is an endless white world with a giant ball like a golden sun with mysterious runes around it floating above his head.

Staring at the golden sun for a long time, Noah saw many things, such as the shadows of humans walking aimlessly, a collection of terrifying skulls with strong expressions of hatred. In addition, Noah also saw various events in the past. But no future events were visible. There was only a mysterious gray fog shrouding the future.

Noah knew that the reason why the future was invisible was because since he, who was an existence independent of fate, was connected to the C world through the Geass contract with C.C., the future of this world had become an infinite and undetermined possibility.

Entering the C.C world, C.C immediately saw her painful memories in the past.

Holding C.C.'s hand, Noah immediately saw scenes of C.C.'s past life, from a cheerful innocent girl to a lonely immortal witch. Unconsciously, Noah hugged C.C.

Noah felt the weight of the burden carried by C.C. In that moment, he saw not only a picture of his past life, but also the loneliness and sadness that had followed him for centuries. Gently, he rubbed C.C's back, trying to provide comfort amidst the sea of painful memories.

"C.C," he said in a soft voice, "I'm here for you. You're not alone."

"I know," C.C replied with a soft smile as she felt the warmth of Noah's embrace.

...

Meanwhile, Zero, who had just regained consciousness, stood on the shore and looked out at the blue sea in the distance.

'It must be hard to contact Ohgi and the others. But I can pretend to be a normal person and ask for help from the Britannia troops to save me...' Zero's thoughts were immediately interrupted by the presence of a stranger near him.

"Who..?" Zero's question stopped when he turned around and saw Euphemia standing not far from him. He immediately took out a gun and aimed at Euphemia.

"Lelouch?, you're Lelouch, aren't you?" Euphemia asked hesitantly without caring about the gun pointed at her.

Zero was immediately surprised by Euphemia's question.

"I haven't told anyone, I swear!" Seeing Zero not answer, Euphemia was finally sure of her guess.

"Before you shoot me, can you at least let me see your face?, it's been a long time since we met" said Euphemia with a little sadness and hope in her voice.

Hearing this, Zero thought for a moment before removing the mask on his face.

When Zero's mask was removed, Euphemia saw Lelouch's familiar face, even though they had not met for seven years, Euphemia knew at a glance that it was Lelouch who she thought had died in Britannia's attack on Japan seven years ago.

In the middle of a quiet beach, two figures sat back to back, separated by a large rock that towered between them. Waves lapped gently in the distance, adding to the calm yet tense atmosphere around.

Euphemia, with her hair wet and glistening in the sunlight, looked vulnerable without clothes, only wrapped in Lelouch's large and loose coat. The coat covered most of her body, providing a little comfort in the cold sea breeze.

The large rock in front of them seemed to be a barrier not only physical, but also emotional. Each was trapped in their own thoughts, not daring to turn around and show their faces. Euphemia could feel the cold sea breeze surrounding her, while behind her, Lelouch was probably also contemplating the situation that had brought them stranded in this place.

Around them, the sand of the beach glistened in the sunlight, while the rhythmic sound of the waves added depth to the atmosphere. Despite their separation, there was an unspoken tension, as if each was waiting for the right moment to speak. In the silence, hope and uncertainty mixed, creating an atmosphere full of meaning.

"Since when did you know the truth?" Lelouch asked, breaking the silence that hung between them, his voice filled with tension.

Euphemia sighed, "Since the hostage incident at the hotel," she answered briefly, her eyes looking far away as if recalling that moment.

Lelouch nodded, "Ah, there I said too much without thinking," he said as he remembered their first meeting after seven years apart.

"But I'm only really sure now," Euphemia continued, her soft voice seeming to tremble in the silence.

Lelouch frowned, "Why didn't you tell Cornelia? This is very important," he asked, confusion reflecting on his face.

Euphemia lowered her head, "Because... I was afraid. Afraid of what might happen. This all feels so sad," she answered, tears threatening to fall from the corners of her eyes.

"How is Nunnaly?" Euphemia asked, trying to distract herself from the pain that enveloped her.

"She lives with me. But... she's still paralyzed," Lelouch answered in a heavy voice, as if expressing an unspeakable burden.

Euphemia felt the pain in his answer, "You must hate us, right?" she asked softly, remembering the tragedy that destroyed their lives, especially Marianne's death.

"Tell me one thing, do you know anything about the incident where my mother was killed?" Lelouch said calmly without answering Euphemia's question.

"I'm sorry, but it seems like my older sister is investigating a lot of things" Ephemia replied. That's because Marianne-sama is my older sister's idol" Euphemia replied looking at the sky as if looking for the answer in the white clouds.

"Are you zero or Lelouch?" Euphemia asked Lelouch with a little hope.

"Lelouch. For now and now" Lelouch replied a little softly.

Their atmosphere eased when Lelouch's answer was heard.
