Would Ominous Armor prevent a personality from dying if it is hit with a card that gave them 0 Chi?

Would Ominous Armor prevent a personality from dying if it is hit with a card that gave them 0 Chi?

Ominous Armor would be destroyed instead of the Personality dying. Then, assuming the Personality continues to have 0 Chi, they would again die from having 0 Chi.
