Chapter 875: The Viper King's Endless Overtime
Chapter 875: The Viper King's Endless Overtime
"Well, although I stopped Serpent Deity Descent, my formation was still destroyed by Toxic Serpent Offering."
Yu Xuan spoke leisurely.
"As expected of a professor, breaking through the Deep Abyss Combo. This not only removes the attack protection of Gravitation Network, but also leaves me without any monsters to fight with for now, which will be very disadvantageous for the next turn."
He seemed to be selecting from his hand for a while before finally choosing a card.
"Then, I'll do this first."
He placed a Monster Card face-down in Defense Position on his field, ending his turn.
A Monster Card appeared face-down in his front row, serving as a temporary defense.
For some reason, Professor Cobra suddenly felt that just watching this guy's actions and demeanor made him seem so irritating.
No, I almost got carried away with my emotions again. Professor Cobra shook his head repeatedly, forcing himself not to look at his opponent. He felt that this person had an incredible kind of magic that made it easy to get angry just by looking at his face, which could easily affect one's performance in a duel.
Could this also be part of the Duel King's secret to his strength?
"My turn, draw!"
Professor Cobra forced his attention back to the duel itself. He glanced at the card he drew and then revealed it.
"Magic Card, Cauldron of Magic Book. Both players draw three cards from their decks." (Original Card)
"Haha, how generous." Yu Xuan drew his cards and laughed, expressing his gratitude, "Then I won't hold back."
Professor Cobra ignored the opponent's continuous taunts and drew three cards for himself.
Then he looked up and spoke in a low voice.
"Do you think this will render me helpless?"
"Constantly bouncing the Viper King and repeatedly blocking Serpent Deity Descent, is this your plan?"
"Do you think that the Serpent Deity will be strangled in its infancy, and you won't have to face her divine might?"
Professor Cobra raised his voice.
"No, the Toxic Serpent Deity is not just my ace, but also my obsession, something I must bear as a duelist! It's the only meaning left in my life, a goal that must be achieved no matter what, and that heavy burden will not stop here!"
He activated the Magic Card, "Resurrection! Revive a monster from the graveyard to the field!"
"A monster in the graveyard," Yu Xuan said calmly, "The activation of Serpent Deity Descent was negated, and the Toxic Serpent Deity did not appear. So, the monster you want to revive is..."
"Exactly!"
Professor Cobra roared.
"Viper King Vinomirion, return to my field!"
The black mist surged once more, re-condensing. Countless flying little snakes, with twisted and hideous snake bodies, and the Viper King with dangerous red eyes appeared once again in this duel.
However, the endless overtime seemed to have added a hint of fatigue to the Viper King.
"I see, Professor Cobra's obsession," Amon murmured, "Although I don't know what this guy's specific goal is, it's true that being so obsessed with bringing down the Serpent Deity to this extent is indeed a very deep obsession."
[Viper King Vinomirion, Attack 0]
"Currently, I have seven Crawling Beast-Type monsters in my graveyard, and each one increases the Viper King's attack by 500!" Professor Cobra exclaimed, "Therefore, the Viper King's attack increases to 3500!"
[Viper King Vinomirion, Attack 0 → Attack 3500]
"Next, I Normal Summon Venomous Twins from my hand!"
The Venomous Twins, covered in green scales, had a long, winding body that split into two snake heads near the neck, each hissing and spitting venom.
[Venomous Twins, Attack 1000]
"I can't lose, and I won't lose!" Professor Cobra shouted, "Viper King Vinomirion, attack the face-down monster!"
The Viper King roared, still exuding a powerful aura despite his fatigue, as if venting his frustration from repeatedly being removed from the field in this duel without dealing any damage.
And the attacked monster flipped.
A small, almost adorably plump penguin with stubby limbs held a slightly oversized sword, its round belly protruding as it glared fiercely.
[Penguin Soldier, DEF 500]
"Oh no, you've activated the effect of 'Penguin Soldier,'" You Xuan smiled. "The effect of this card, when flipped, allows me to select up to two monsters on the field..."
He glanced at Cobra's Venomous Rattlesnake, which had just returned to the field and was still unsteady on its feet, and then at the Twin-Headed Snake that had just entered the field.
"...and return them to their owner's hand."
Cobra: "..."
He didn't know what to say.
Even Amon adjusted his glasses and coughed a couple of times.
Well, Mr. You Xuan,
You're not an ordinary person.
"Sorry, Professor Cobra. It's rare for you to bring back the Viper King, but..."
You Xuan smiled apologetically.
"I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to return both the Viper King and the recently summoned 'Venomous Twins' to your hand."
Cobra roared in frustration, but there was nothing he could do. His immortality only protected him from destruction, not from being returned to the hand, so he could only grudgingly return to Cobra's hand once again.
"Noooooo!"
Cobra roared.
He felt like exploding.
His invincible Viper King, the immortal Viper King, had been repeatedly defeated in this duel, and not once had its immortality been triggered. Could he believe it?
A certain Toxic Serpent Deity slumbering in the deck: I feel like I won't have any scenes today.
"Of course, the flip effect is triggered during battle, and the battle has already been established," You Xuan said calmly. "So my 'Penguin Soldier' will still be destroyed in battle."
However, the little penguin had already gloriously fulfilled its mission. With its small body, it had taken out the Viper King, a two-for-one exchange, already exceeding its expected value.
Cobra muttered, "I'll set a card and end my turn."
Even Amon couldn't help but look at the professor with some sympathy.
He sensed that, although he didn't know the professor's purpose, he seemed to have an incredibly strong conviction. It was as if his sole reason for living was to achieve that goal.
With such a mindset, it wouldn't be surprising if he went insane after enduring the torment of this duel.
No wonder the King in the outside rumors was so terrifying. People say that the King's duels not only take away the opponent's victory but sometimes also shatter their spirit.
"My turn, draw!"
You Xuan declared.
"In the Standby Phase, I'll activate the effect of 'Killer Snake' in the graveyard once more.
This card, during the Standby Phase, if it is in your graveyard, can be returned to your hand."
You Xuan retrieved the Killer Snake.
Then he smiled lightly.
"Now that neither of us has any monsters on the field, it might seem a little unfair for me to summon a monster and attack unilaterally. So, let's do this—I'll give you a powerful monster first, and then we'll duel again."
He revealed his hand.
"I'll Special Summon this guy on your field, Professor Cobra.
Level 8, 'Torture Giant' in Attack Position!"
Cobra: "???"
