What kind of "gaze" is that?
It contains no emotion, no murderous intent, no anger, not even curiosity.
It is a kind of pure "observation" that transcends the dimension of life.
Just like a programmer, in the vast sea of code, suddenly discovered a bug that shouldn't exist and tried to tamper with the core instructions.
He won't be angry or surprised, he will just move the cursor to the wrong line of garbled characters and prepare to press the "Delete" key.
At this moment, Senju Chen is that line of garbled characters.
His soul, burning with his own life force and forcibly wrestling with the ultimate law of "Reaper Death Seal", could not escape under the "observation" of Death God.
"..."
Under this gaze, the roar deep in Senju Chen's soul stopped abruptly.
A chill that originated from existence itself, a thousand times stronger than when he was backlashed before, instantly froze his entire soul.
He felt that he was no longer a thoughtful individual, but a specimen placed under a microscope. From his soul to his will, every inch was deconstructed and penetrated by the cold gaze.
Before, he thought Death God was just a program that executed a contract without a thought.
Now he suddenly knew.
Even programs have administrators.
And what he, a tiny "user" did just now, has obviously triggered the highest level "system alarm".
"Oops..."
This thought just flashed through Senju Chen's soul.
The next second, a scene happened that he would never forget, even subverting all his understanding of life in his two lives.
The phantom of Death God, who had been holding a short knife in his mouth, as indifferent as a sculpture,... moved.
Slowly, it slowly raised the hand that did not hold Minato Namikaze's soul, and in a solemn and ancient gesture, held the pale white short knife in its mouth.
"Uh--"
A sound that was so slight that it seemed as if it did not exist in the material world, yet it resounded clearly deep in everyone's soul.
The short knife was pulled out of Death God's mouth.
It was not a weapon made of metal.
The moment it was pulled out of the mouth, Senju Chen "saw" it.
He saw that there was no sharp edge on the blade, only a piece of nothingness. What it cut was not space, but "cause and effect"; what it cut off was not matter, but "concept"!
This sword is the embodiment of the rules of the "Reaper Death Seal" technique! It is the authority of Death God to execute the contract!
According to the contract, this knife should be used to cut off the soul of the sealed person after the ceremony is completed.
But now...
In the horrified "look" of Senju Chen, Death God's arm holding the blade of rules was raised in a slow but irresistible gesture.
Its target is not Nine-Tails, which was sealed during dragging.
But... the two souls of him and Minato Namikaze were forcibly "glued" together by Senju Chen's Spirit Transformation Technique!
It actually plans to delete the illegal "BUG" and the "data" contaminated by the "BUG"!
"What a fool!!!"
Senju Chen's heart burst out with the purest and most quintessential curse since time travel.
Don't talk about martial ethics!
Where is the execution program that was agreed upon? Why do you have autonomous operation when you are riding a horse?! You are cheating!
At this moment, when the blade of rules was raised, an irreversible power of law called "End" had completely locked the souls of him and Minato Namikaze.
Just like a file selected by the administrator, there is no other possibility except being dragged into the Recycle Bin.
It's over.
Barbie is Q.
Am I out of touch with this...?
Senju Chen's mind went blank. He never imagined that he just wanted to save someone, but in the end he caused the "physical deletion" of the "laws of the world".
However, the moment the short sword, which was enough to cut off the concept, was about to fall.
"Little Chen!"
A decisive and apologetic cry exploded from the core of his wrapped soul.
It's Minato Namikaze!
This man who had just been scolded by Senju Chen as a "love-brained fool", at this critical moment, his soul, which was about to be wrapped by Senju Chen, burst out with the last and most brilliant light.
He also "saw" Death God's movements, and he knew better than anyone what that knife meant.
He understood instantly that Death God's unconventional behavior was entirely due to Senju Chen's intervention.
This "younger brother" just wanted to save his "older brother" who was determined to seek death, but he didn't expect that he himself would be involved.
"Little Chen... You are right... I am... too selfish..."
Minato Namikaze's soul let out a guilty sigh.
Everything was caused by his willfulness that led to the current situation. He has no qualifications to drag anyone down anymore.
"Stay alive! Help me take care of Kushina and Naruto!"
"Please!!!"
Boom--!
Minato Namikaze's soul, like a miniature sun, exploded!
He did not choose to attack Death God, which was like using a mantis' arm as a chariot. He turned all his remaining soul power, which was about to dissipate, into the purest and most decisive repulsive force, and struck hard at Senju Chen's soul net that wrapped around him!
"Minato Namikaze! You idiot!"
Senju Chen's soul roared in fright and rage.
He felt an irresistible force that was forcibly bouncing his spirit body away from Minato Namikaze's soul.
It felt like two objects stuck together with strong glue being torn apart, along with fragments of flesh, blood and soul. The pain was so painful that he almost lost his mind.
"Pfft--!"
In the real world, Senju Chen's body suddenly leaned back and spurted out a large mouthful of blood again. His whole body was like a kite with its string cut off, and was violently thrown away by an invisible force.
His soul, under the action of that repulsive force, was forcibly thrown out of Minato Namikaze's body.
It was at the moment when the soul body of Senju Chen was completely separated from the soul of Minato Namikaze.
The blade of rules that had been raised high and was about to be swung down stopped.
Death God's empty eyes seemed to glance at the "bug" that had been "thrown out" and no longer posed a threat. Then, its arm holding the knife slowly lowered, but the short knife was not put back to its mouth, but was just held in the hand.
It was as if the devastating scene just now had never happened.
Immediately afterwards.
Without the interference of the variable Senju Chen, the entire "Reaper Death Seal" ceremony seemed to have entered a violent acceleration stage in an instant.
As if the "Reaper Death Seal" program was afraid of causing other accidents due to the previous interruption by Senju Chen, this technique suddenly entered the acceleration mode.
Nine-Tails was shocked by "Reaper Death Seal" at this moment.
"Ho--???"
