Chapter 874: The God-Level Monster
Chapter 874: The God-Level Monster
"Deep Ravine Soldier, return 'Toxic Snake King Vinomirion' to your hand once more!"
The trident in the Deep Ravine Soldier's hand spun, and a powerful stream of water surged forth, akin to a high-pressure water jet aimed directly at the Toxic Snake King.
Cobra's eyes narrowed.
As expected!
"This time, I won't let you succeed!" Cobra shouted, "I activate my Set Trap Card, 'Viper Offering'!"
The Set card on his backfield flipped, and beneath the Toxic Snake King, flames erupted, as if the entire field was set ablaze!
"Viper Offering! Destroy one Crawling Beast on your field and two cards on your opponent's field!" Cobra commanded, "Destroy your Deep Ravine Soldier and the Continuous Trap, 'Gravitation Network'!"
The powerful trap, specialized for Crawling Beasts, caused the Toxic Snake King to let out a piercing, agonizing scream as its body seemed to be incinerated, splitting into two fiery halves.
Both the Deep Ravine Soldier and the backfield trap were hit simultaneously, instantly turning into fireballs and reducing to ashes within the flames.
"Wow, that's a brilliant way to dismantle this troublesome formation," Amon nodded in approval, "Not bad, Cobra."
After a brief pause, he continued.
"But sacrificing your ace, the Toxic Snake King, and leaving the field empty... It's hard to say if it was worth it."
However, for Cobra, this was just the beginning.
"Hehehehe..."
Professor Cobra let out a sinister laugh.
Slowly, he raised his head.
"It's over."
Amon: "?"
"This Duel ended the moment Viper Offering was activated and Vinomirion was sent to the Graveyard. If you're wondering why... it's because in that instant, the preparations for the birth of the most formidable and ferocious monster were complete!"
Cobra's pupils contracted, his eyes widening in shock, as he raised his arms high above his head and let out a deep, resonating roar.
"Activate! Trap Card, 'Serpent Deity Descent'!!!"
The last Set card on his backfield flipped, and for a moment, it seemed like endless darkness erupted from within! The Toxic Snake King, who should have already left the field, appeared like a ghost, only to be devoured by the darkness, as if something in the abyss was chewing, digesting, and evolving it into an entirely new form.
"Serpent Deity Descent can only be activated when 'Toxic Snake King Vinomirion' is destroyed on my field! Special Summon the evolved form of the Toxic Snake King, the ultimate and most powerful Toxic Serpent Deity, from my hand or Deck!"
Cobra's face contorted in a frenzy as he roared.
At first glance, this card seemed identical to the one in the anime and the real-life card, but upon closer inspection, the wording revealed significant differences.
In the anime, it only required the destruction of the Toxic Snake King to activate, but the real-life card specified that the Toxic Snake King had to be destroyed by battle.
In other words, to summon the Toxic Serpent Deity in real life, one not only had to summon the Toxic Snake King first but also draw this unsearchable trap card and ensure that the Toxic Snake King was destroyed by a card effect.
So, while this combo was impressive and unique due to its anime origins, the difficulty of assembling this combination was such that it might be simpler and more straightforward to just gather five copies of the old Arkath instead.
"The culmination of Viper Venom, the ultimate deity of the end of all things, will extinguish everything with despair and curses! Descend—
—Toxic Serpent Deity·Vinomagnia!!!"
This was his true ace, the ultimate showstopper, the strongest monster that had never tasted defeat since its arrival in the present world, and throughout his Dueling career.
If one had to pinpoint a weakness in the Toxic Serpent Deity, it would be the overly challenging conditions required for its Summon.
Aside from that, it was invincible!
Just as Cobra was thinking this, he heard a calm and unhurried voice from across the field.
"Counter Trap, 'Divine Warning'.
By paying 2000 Life Points, negate and destroy the Summon of a monster, or the activation of a card that includes the effect of Summoning a monster.
Cobra: "..."
[You Xuan, LP 4000 → LP 2000]
"I'll pay 2000 Life Points to negate and destroy the activation of 'Serpent Deity Descent.'"
The activation of the trap card seemed to be accompanied by a divine light. Within the sacred radiance, an old man with white hair and beard, exuding an overwhelming aura, appeared in the glow, as if bathed in holy light.
He narrowed his eyes, waved his sleeve, and slowly raised his arm, extending only his palm, silently issuing a command.
Unstoppable.
Though silent, it seemed to exert an irresistible force. An immense pressure was released, shattering even the barrier of Serpent Deity Descent. The ghost of Viper King shrieked sharply, but it was still suppressed by the sacred radiance, twisting and shattering like a shadow under the light until it vanished.
"You wanted to summon 'Toxic Serpent Deity·Vinomagnia,' right?" You Xuan smiled slyly, "The strongest monster in the Viper Deck, if we're only considering the effect and not the summoning difficulty, it's undoubtedly a top-tier monster in the entire dueling world, a god-like creature worthy of the title."
Not a single mistake, a one-hit-kill, all within 691!
Well, if something like this were to be summoned, it would be troublesome. I have to be prepared, Professor Cobra, please understand."
Cobra's facial muscles twitched.
Damn it, this bastard knew it all along.
Indeed, Toxic Serpent Deity·Vinomagnia, this is Cobra's ultimate ace, and it is undoubtedly a monster worthy of the name.
Firstly, this card cannot be targeted by the effects of any other card, nor can it be affected by the effects of any other card. It is said to be the first monster in the history of the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game to possess such absolute resistance in the real-world card environment, and this fact alone is enough to earn it a place in the annals of history.
Additionally, it inherits the effect of Viper King, determining its attack power based on the number of Crawling Beasts in the graveyard, with its attack becoming 500 points for each Crawling Beast in the graveyard. Furthermore, even if it is destroyed in battle, it can be revived by removing Crawling Beasts from the graveyard.
Absolute resistance, infinite revival, and the ability to easily gain overwhelming attack power by filling the graveyard make Toxic Serpent Deity·Vinomagnia a force to be reckoned with, capable of sweeping through opponents and standing invincible.
But even that is not enough. The most distinctive feature of Toxic Serpent Deity·Vinomagnia is its ability to change the rules of victory in a duel, an ability even more noble than that of a god.
In the real-world card game, the effect of Toxic Serpent Deity·Vinomagnia is to place a Hyper-Toxic Marker every time it inflicts battle damage to the opponent. When this card accumulates three markers, it can ignore the original rules and directly claim victory in the duel.
It shares a similar ability with Dark Sorcerer Arkath, capable of altering the rules of the game to claim victory.
However, the animated effect is even more powerful. In the real-world card game, you would need to inflict battle damage to the opponent three times with Toxic Serpent Deity·Vinomagnia to gather three markers and activate the rule-changing victory effect. In the animated version, this is not necessary.
In the animation, you only need to inflict battle damage to the opponent once, and Toxic Serpent Deity·Vinomagnia's effect will be triggered. From that moment, the countdown begins, and after three turns, the controller of this card automatically wins the game.
Absolute resistance, immortality, easily achieving high attack power, and possessing a rule-changing victory condition.
This is why, despite the extremely strict summoning conditions, countless players have attempted to create this monster. It is a true god-like creature, a nuclear weapon in the real-world card environment, almost guaranteeing victory once it is successfully summoned.
Of course, that's assuming you can summon it.
And the process of attempting to do so can easily raise one's blood pressure.
Just like Professor Cobra is experiencing now.
