[Beep anomaly detected]

What is it?

[Presence of a second soul in person]

[Presence of World Will detected]

What do you mean?

[Presence faded, no soul detected, World Will still present]

Came the AI chip as CC entered the pizzeria. 'Store the data and run analysis on it' Leylin commanded his AI chip.

"Welcome miss, what'll you be having?" came the voice of the pizzaria owner as he looked up to CC.

"A large special with extra toppings" came the woman's voice as she sat beside Leylin.

"Hello CC, I did not expect to see you here. What happened at the facility?"

"The 'facility' was bombed, and I was able to escape through a tunnel that was formed. That led me in front of this pizzeria, one in which you are the only customer. Either you are the cause or you knew of it happening either way you know something."

"I did know of you being captured by prince Clovis's men and that you were kept in a facility. There was little information I could get about the facility, let alone enough to bomb it."

"Well whatever, so what going to happen now? I assume you have your men surrounding the place?"

"Nothing like that I'm here alone, just wanted to get some pizza."

"You're not a pizza type," she declared. "You eat too nicely for that to be the case."

"Ah well, I do get cravings now and then. Now I would ask you to come with me to my office after this if it's not too much trouble."

"You have any pizza there?"

"I can order as many as you like."

"Let me finish this one first," she said as her pizza came.

"AI chip give me an estimation of her stats"

[C.C. - Strength: 0.8 | Agility: 0.9 | Constitution: ? | Status: Unknown]

[Abilities: Immortality]

"So her immortality doe not affect her physical stats it seems. From the presence of the world will, I think I can assume that she is one of the connections to the World Will I detected when I came here."

"What of the presence of geass contamination"

[Target has the highest level of geass energy detected …. Calibrating scale]

Leylin had detected a special form of spiritual energy that was left on people who had been affected by the geass of someone else. Leylin should feel the energy if he concentrated enough but his AI chip could do the work for him and detect the energy. Sadly he was unable to make it into a device as the detection used spiritual energy and he was missing key ingredients needed to make alchemical products.

Despite being a grandmaster alchemist Leylin could not make something out of anything. He could make a few spiritual items but it would send a wave of spiritual energy, one he was sure people connected to the World Will would detect. Hence he could only find about them by being in their presence.

He had of course immediately checked himself and those around him for geass energy. He himself seemed clear of it along with much of the staff. However, Cornelia and Euphemia did seem to have a trace amount of it, not as much as someone affected but greater than the average person. This could mean a few things however the most likely was that she was in contact with someone who had the geass ability for a trace amount of time. Leylin decided to call it World Energy as it was the spiritual power of the world gathered through all its inhabitants into the World Will.

Leylin did theme tests regularly and soon he had an idea of who it was. Every time Cornelia would go to the court she would have trace amounts of energy, however even when there was no court and only the Emperor and her she had the same levels. This made Leylin fairly certain that the emperor possessed a geas, after realizing which Leylin made sure he would never have to have a confrontation with him yet. While it would give him a great deal of information he was still unsure of whether he would be able to defend himself against the power.

However, it was evidently not as powerful as C.C.'s. While CC had a great amount of the world energy she leaked absolutely none out. This made Leylin assume that her use of the world energy was to merely stay immortal while others would use it to gain special abilities. So either this happened through age and experience which might be a possibility, however, it was more probable that the power was fundamentally different.

After all with the sheer difference in the quantity of world energy and the control that CC showed much difference. There was also the fact of Geass Order's lack of adults with the ability. This made it even more possible that there was a trial to get immortality, maybe to progress past a bottleneck, or maybe to obtain it through killing someone who already was immortal. After all the energy the world had, while immense was limited and the World Will would not support too many immortals unless they helped the world in some way.

Whatever the case Leylin had put a tracker on CC, one connected directly to his AI chip. Everything that she found out, Leylin would know and with his suspicions on the second soul, Leylin knew he had hit a treasure trove.
