Death's gaze grew slightly puzzled at the thought as it sensed the frail aura across from it.
That aura had indeed far surpassed human limits, yet it was still fundamentally different from a god.
If it acted now, it should still be able to erase him from this world with ease.
But why was this human beginning to give it such a strange sense of wariness, making it feel that something was terribly wrong?
Was it because of his relationship with Pain?
Was it the divine power he had absorbed—love, desire, knowledge, and the like?
How had such insignificant things come together and grown into something formidable?
As it pondered, it released the restraint it had placed on auditory information. Once again, Sin's irritatingly mocking voice reached its ears.
"Hey, why aren't you answering after all that? What's that supposed to mean?"
"Don't tell me you died? Arbiter! Is anyone doing anything? Death is dead! Does that mean we've already won?"
"Ha, your tolerance is way too low. I only said a couple of things, and you ended up like this. Don't tell me you couldn't bear facing me and shut off your hearing yourself..."

Anger inevitably rose within it. Because of that strange and disgusting ability of his, it could not tell whether he had truly provoked it or whether it had fallen for his skill.
It began to doubt itself to some extent, doubting whether the reaction it was about to make was exactly what he had deliberately intended and hoped for.
So it could not let this continue any longer!
He must have done something just now... and that had happened to be when the game outside had determined its victor!
It was unlikely to be a coincidence.
In a relatively fair wager
