Is it Wrong to Copy Abilities in Apocalypse?

"Hmmm... should I go there as well?"

These were the exact words that Certain God spoke the moment her system feed was cut off. Just like any other god who used the system to watch over their favorite player, Certain God, being no exception, had to rely on the system to keep watch over Alex since doing it with her own power was against the rules the system had set up.

Now, however, that feed was cut off, with no god being able to know what was happening, making them annoyed, but Certain God was not much affected by it. She was just contemplating what she should do before a snap echoed through the star she stayed on.

*Snap*

The next second, a bright flash enveloped the inside of the star, the 5-star room, nowhere to be seen until a voice was heard...

"Hm! This is better," the voice, sounding proud and excited, spoke, the light in the surroundings dying down as it added, "I wonder what face he would make when he sees me like this? Hehe."

The voice sounded like that of a little girl eager to see what kind of candy she was going to find, but by the time the light in the room completely died down, the girl was nowhere to be seen.

She was now teleporting into the tree that Alex had entered, but for some reason, she couldn't, or more like it was taking time.

"Hmph! Maybe I should've given some more power to this temporary body," the girl, whose voice was heard in the star, was heard again, sounding dissatisfied for not being able to get what she wanted quickly.

If not for the fact that using too much power in this new, artificial body would make her traceable by the system, giving the system a chance to implicate things on her, she would've never even lowered her power this much.

As the girl—whose features weren't clear, only her petite frame could be seen, blurred as it passed through the layers of space—thought about the system, the atmosphere grew grim.

The mind inside that body, although just a part of her main body, was still connected to it, so she knew that the thing she had been doing, coming back to the game even after being kicked twice already, was not going to work as easily as before from now on.

'Especially with the presence of those 4 old coots...' the girl's soft fists balled up, making her frown. She knew that, going forward, she had to be more careful about her actions, or she might end up not being able to see Alex again—

"Wait! I need to speed up the process or I might not even be able to meet him right now!" the girl exclaimed as soon as Alex flashed in her mind. She had completely forgotten her main objective as she kept floating in this void.

She waved her hand again and again, trying to do something, searching for the weak point of the space, only to feel her frustration growing.

"Hah... why is it taking so long?!" The girl exclaimed in exasperation; her mana burst out without her knowing, and she, at that exact moment, was transported right into the tree's trunk, where Alex and the green giant were sitting.

She had reached Alex, but not with her own powers; it was because of the green giant, who, after knowing who it was due to the mana burst, didn't dare to keep her from entering the tree.

Alex, on the other hand, was frozen for a moment. He was sure who it was, even if she sounded childish and young.

It was not a voice he could forget even if he wanted to, as he had heard it almost every day since the apocalypse, and for whatever reason, her voice had been printed in his mind, so even if she were to change her voice, just with the way of speaking, he would be able to tell that it's her.

"Huh? I'm here already?!"

It was then, as Alex was turning his head to look at the source of the voice, that the girl realized that she had been teleported to where she wanted, making her eyes go wide, wandering around, taking everything before her eyes spotted Alex.

"Alex~~!!!"

She froze for a second before her body shot toward Alex with a wide smile on her face; her yell, filled with glee, made its way to Alex's ear, and as soon as he turned around, he found a small body directly hitting his head, hugging it tight, leaving him speechless.

"Hehehehehe."

The girl, however, just kept hugging Alex with her 30 to 40-centimeter-long body, her arms and legs coiled around his head, rubbing her cheeks on his hair, enjoying her time, ignoring the fact that Alex was left lost for words.

His shoulder slumped as he realized that even in this form, the Certain God hadn't changed a bit—she was still as unpredictable and random as ever. In the end, he just sighed, and his hands moved to catch her and move her away from his head.

"Hehehehehe."

The little Certain God, however, just kept giggling, flailing her arms and legs around, enjoying it as Alex raised her up with his arms around her waist, looking at her with a stunned expression.

He wasn't able to get a view of the girl until now, but when he did, he couldn't help but be dazed.

She was a tiny fairy, no bigger than 40 centimeters, with a cheerful energy that was impossible to ignore. Her snow-white hair flows like soft clouds, and her electric-blue eyes shine with a playful spark.

There were small, shimmering wings on her back, catching the light, making her look like a little piece of magic in motion. She wore a simple dress made of flower petals that change colors when she's excited. Always giggling and full of life, her bubbly personality was infectious, and her laughter was like soft chimes.

She felt like a little bundle of joy, spreading happiness wherever she went. So much so that even Alex, who never really smiled with happiness, had this strange fluffy feeling in his heart, making his lips twitch, as if trying to smile but failing as he had almost forgotten how it was done.

"Greetings, my lady."

It was then that the green giant, who was sitting on the opposite side of Alex, spoke up, bowing his head as he addressed the fairy, making her turn her eyes toward the giant, confusion flashing past her eyes before they brightened up in realization.

"Aha! You are the Greeny!" She exclaimed as she jumped out of Alex's arms, flying around the green giant's head, nodding her head repeatedly as he kept muttering something to herself, giggling from time to time as she added, "How many times have I told you to not address me like that?? It makes me feel old~~..."

She floated in front of the giant's big head, her arms folded on her waist and her cheeks puffed, trying to show that she was dissatisfied, making the giant bow his head deeper, still sitting on his throne.

"I apologize. But what should I call you, then?" He questioned, turning to look up at the little fairy, making a puzzled expression paint her face.

"Hmmmmmm~~" she hummed thoughtfully, a frown on her forehead as she was really thinking hard about it.

"Hmmmmmm~~!!!" She did it again, this time with her hand on her chin and her head tilted, as she was trying to show that she was thinking really deeply, only to get nothing and finally...

"Ahhh! I don't know. Call me whatever you want!"

Unable to come up with something, and with a hmph, she turned her head away from the giant, shooting toward Alex again, hugging his head and giggling like she had been doing for a while, leaving both the giant and Alex at a loss for words...

"You should at least lower your charm, my lad—"

The giant, after being left speechless for a while, staring at Alex's behavior, tried to advise something, but the moment he was about to say the next word, he received a fierce glare from the fairy, making him change his words in an instant, "—little fairy."

Listening to his last words, a smile bloomed on the fairy's face, and she finally focused on the words, making her eyes widen in realization.

"How could I forget it?!" She exclaimed, letting go of Alex and hurriedly taking a deep breath, making the light surrounding her dim down a bit, and Alex's eyes, which were slowly glowing cloudy, returned to their normal cold state. His gaze, however, remained focused on the fairy.

"Why are you here?" Was all he asked, making the fairy pout and fold her arms, looking at Alex with a frown.

"Because I was worried that you wouldn't be able to make the best use of the opportunity in front of you, dumbo!"

She hmphed again, making Alex not know what to say anymore as her words seemed to be true, and in reality, he didn't really know anything about the green giant to make use of this opportunity, so he just sighed and turned to look at the giant.

"Shall we continue?" He questioned, making the giant glance at the fairy for a second before it nodded, "We shall."
