Is it Wrong to Copy Abilities in Apocalypse?

Chapter 50: CHAPTER 49 - ERROR!



The AI's words shocked Alex, causing his expression to freeze, and the same could be said about his body.

He didn't even speak for a while.

Alex just kept repeating those words inside his head.

'Are you sure?'

Finally, after a while, he questioned the AI; his brows frowned as he looked up at the biggest star in the sky.

He didn't like where this was going.

The AI answered in a serious voice; it knew what these things implied as well, but it was what it was.

'This is not good.'

Alex clenched his fists.

He had thought that he would ignore the new god since they seemed like an anomaly, but now there was no way that he would be able to do it.

Alex, who was busy sorting out the matter of the gift, decided to let it be till the god who sent it contacted him, but now things had changed.

He had made plans on the premise that the system would be able to restrict the god, but when it came to this certain god, the system didn't even reply, much less restrict.

This was the reason for Alex's concern.

The AI's words and thoughts entered Alex's mind, causing a contemplative expression to cover his face.

'Since we are still not sure if I'm a gift or not, and me being inside you means that I'm already an accepted gift, then what does it matter if you accept another gift?'

This is what the AI was trying to say, causing Alex to consider those words seriously.

Whoever this certain god was, if they offered a contract and he was to reject it even though he already has the AI—which could probably be a gift from that certain god—the god was going to be offended whether he accepted the other gift or not.

So, why not just accept it?

It still wasn't sure if the system's rules bound this certain god or not.

[- The rules are not to be broken by anyone.]

Alex could still see this at the end of the rules tab in the information section, but you can never be certain.

But just as Alex was thinking about these things, far away from him, up in the sky, inside of the biggest star, everything was bright white; nothing could be seen until two clear, electric blue eyes—shining with intrigue—came into view.

They were looking at Alex's live view on an illusionary blue screen.

The next second, a pair of red, cherry lips came into view before they morphed into a smile. The next moment, those red lips parted, seemingly trying to voice something out.

On the other side, just as Alex was done looking at the rules for the gods once again, just to memorize them, a new notification flashed.

[A certain god smiles while saying— ERROR! ERROR! ERROR! —]

The notification, however, glitched before Alex could even get what this 'certain god' was trying to say.

The only thing he heard was a static sound, causing him to grit his teeth in irritation.

The sound of the static was annoying.

Alex frowned.

"System-"

But before he could call out to the system again, the static noise disappeared and a new notification arrived; this time, however, the notification was not like it used to be.

[Hello, a 'certain god' here! I broke some restrictions so that I could send this personal message; I didn't want the other gods to hear us talk.

So, here we go: "You seem to have something that you shouldn't, and although I never gifted you anything, I feel a connection with you; you are interest-]

A silver-colored text appeared in front of Alex, but along with it came a voice—a familiar voice he would never forget—causing his body to tense.

'It's her…'

Alex muttered inwardly, his grip tightening around his dagger even though he knew that he wouldn't be able to do anything if the one on the other side wanted to harm him.

For now, even the smallest doubt he had that this certain god might not actually be the one that transferred the AI to him was washed away.

Alex was an expert assassin, and an assassin never forgets the faces they see and voices they once heard.

He still couldn't recall what was spoken to him—what that woman who gave him the AI spoke—other than some words.

But he could vividly recall her voice, and matched with this certain god, not a single note in her voice differed.

However, before the voice could continue...

[A warning for a certain god: if the rules are broken again, you will be kicked out of the game.]

The silver text, along with the voice was wiped away, and the system that had been silent for a while finally spoke.

The voice of the system was monotonous and emotionless, unlike the system Alex knew about, but for the first time, the system's words brought relief to Alex.

For the first time, Alex wanted to thank the system since its words cleared all of his doubts.

The words of the system seem to echo throughout the whole world, as if telling everyone about it.

But one thing was sure to Alex now…

Yes, just as the AI said, Alex was now able to deduce that this certain god is also bound by the system's rules.

She might be strong—way stronger than other gods—but she must play by the rules.

But then Alex frowned as he recalled the words he heard from this certain god's message.

[A certain god raises their arms in surrender.]

[A certain god promises that they will never do it again.]

[A certain god is giggling.]

Three notifications flashed one after another, but Alex just spared a single glance at them.

Now that he knew that this certain god wasn't free from the rules, he didn't have to worry much about her.

Yes, it would still be bad to have a strong god—very bad if the god in question could just wipe another god with a wave of her hand—annoyed at oneself, but Alex could still make do with it.

All this god could do was use some indirect means to pressure or kill Alex, but Alex was ready to face those challenges.

Until there was a large disparity between his and his opponent's power levels, Alex wasn't very concerned.

Even if he couldn't win, we could still survive.

His attention right now was on another, much more pressing topic.

'She said that she never gifted me anything.'

These words caused Alex to frown hard.
