Erwin fell silent for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, to be honest, I haven't been able to find his soul. I now wield the Authority of Death, and I can sense every soul outside of Daxia, as well as use my methods to search for them! However, Gryffindor's soul is not in the Underworld! In fact, his soul has never even entered the Underworld! There are only two possibilities. First, his soul vanished completely before it ever had the chance to reach the Underworld. The other possibility is that he isn't dead!"
Ravenclaw frowned. "Is it possible that his soul is outside, just like yours and Slytherin's?"
Erwin shook his head. "The Authority of Death is the only divine authority over death in the West, and its utility is far greater than you imagine! Any soul, no matter where it is, can be sensed by the Authority—just like how you and Slytherin's souls are actually within the perception of the Authority. It's just that your souls are protected by divine power, which is why you can linger in the mortal realm and move about freely. But Gryffindor's soul is entirely different from your situation!"
