Chapter 877: Serpent Deity Descent
"No!" Cobra roared.
"I don't care! I will bring you back, no matter what. I will, I must!"
He suddenly woke up, only then remembering that he was still in the middle of a duel. He jerked his head up and saw You Xuan standing calmly opposite him, a playful smile on his face as he looked at Cobra.
"You..." Cobra's lips trembled, but he quickly calmed down and spoke in a deep voice.
"You saw that."
You Xuan nodded. "I did."
After a brief pause, he asked, "Who is that child?"
Cobra pondered for two seconds.
"A child who deserves a better life," Cobra said coldly. "A child who died too soon due to the unfairness of fate, and I will do whatever it takes to bring him back.
Don't try to lecture me, Duel King. I know the price I have to pay, and I know that many people may die because of this. But I don't care."
"I understand."
You Xuan nodded and then showed a provocative smile.
"But I never said I was going to lecture you. There's no need for that."
Cobra was stunned. "What?"
"Because you're almost finished, aren't you?" You Xuan chuckled. "You can't save him, just like you can't beat me. Before this, you couldn't even attempt to summon your Ace.
Your Toxic Serpent Deity, the monster you're so confident is invincible, right? It's still dozing in your deck at this point."
Cobra: "..."
"Face the facts, Professor Cobra. The truth is... you're not skilled enough."
You Xuan spoke bluntly.
"Because of your failure, you couldn't save your child."
"Because of your failure, you can't beat me. You don't even have the ability to control the Toxic Serpent Deity, not even summoning it. You're truly unskilled."
He shook his head repeatedly.
Cobra: "..."
His jaw clenched tight, his fists clenched so hard the veins popped out, and his dark face seemed to turn red as if his blood was surging.
Whether it was an illusion or not, Amon, who was in the room, felt like the temperature was rising.
He looked at You Xuan in astonishment.
It had to be said that apart from his dueling skills, the king's ability to infuriate others was truly impressive.
"I'll kill you! I swear I will!" Cobra roared like a wounded lion.
"Oh? Then go ahead." You Xuan said indifferently, "Light Aqua Mermaid's other effect. This card can attack twice in the same battle phase."
Amon: "!"
By reducing the attack power of all monsters on the opponent's field to zero, it could deliver two consecutive attacks in one turn.
Light Aqua Mermaid originally had an attack power of 2000. In other words, once summoned, it could easily deal 4000 damage in an instant, making it a monster born for OTK (One Turn Kill).
"No wonder it's part of the Planetary Series." Amon murmured, "It's not an ordinary card."
Aqua Mermaid attacked again, her long sword slicing through the air! The blade trailed a blue trajectory, and with a fierce ripping sound, the sword light fell upon Cobra's head.
"Damage Reduction Field, final effect!" Cobra shouted, "By sending this card to the graveyard, I have one chance to reduce battle damage to 0!"
The sword light struck the transparent force field barrier and suddenly rippled, causing ripples.
"You've barely blocked it."
"Then I'll set a card and end my turn."
Cobra breathed heavily.
"I will kill you, You Xuan." He spoke in a deep voice, "I will clear any obstacles in my way. No one can stop me! No one.
My turn, draw!"
As he drew his card, a bright light flashed across his arm, as if a non-human arm had overlapped with his own.
Torikage Yuxuan raised his eyebrows. Although it wasn't Yubel herself, it was undoubtedly her power. She had granted Professor Cobra a portion of her strength.
Cobra glanced at the card he had drawn and then spoke with a sinister tone. "You said I was weak and couldn't control the power of the Serpent Deity, didn't you?"
"Well, then, keep your eyes wide open and watch!"
"I activate the Field Spell, 'Tomb of the Deceased Emperor'!"
The surroundings transformed instantly, accompanied by a tremor that shook the very earth. An imposing tomb appeared, illuminated by the flickering light of torches, casting an eerie glow in the dim space. Countless terracotta warriors stood amidst the mist below, resembling an army long dead.
"Tomb of the Deceased Emperor! By paying 1000 Life Points, you can perform an Upgrading Sacrifice!"
In the real card game, the cost of the sacrifice is determined by the number of sacrifices, with each sacrifice costing 1000 Life Points. However, in the anime, the effect is triggered by paying only 1000 Life Points, regardless of the number of sacrifices.
"I pay 1000 Life Points to use the terracotta warriors in the tomb as sacrifices!" Cobra declared.
[Professor Cobra: LP1800 → LP800]
"Descend once more and grant me your power—
—Viper King Vinomirion!!!"
It was another day of forced overtime. Viper King emerged wearily from the darkness, lazily raising his serpentine hands and making a symbolic gesture of baring his fangs and claws, but his voice lacked any vigor.
However, it didn't matter; his appearance was brief.
"I activate the Spell Card, 'Black Hole'!" Cobra shouted. "Destroy all monsters on the field!"
The destructive celestial body opened, as if it were about to devour even the stars. Yuxuan's Aqua Mermaid and Cobra's own Viper King were both swallowed into the black hole vortex and instantly crushed under the overwhelming pressure.
"Keep your eyes wide open and watch!" Cobra clenched his fist and roared.
"The most ferocious and powerful Serpent Deity has truly arrived! When Viper King Vinomirion is destroyed, the trap card is activated! Serpent Deity Descent!"
He flipped the card he had set in his Spell & Trap Zone.
"From my hand or Deck, I Special Summon the ultimate Serpent Deity, Toxic Serpent Deity·Vinomagnia!"
Viper King disappeared into Cobra's own Black Hole. With the activation of the sinister ritual, all the darkness and despair seemed to converge, materializing into a tangible form of fear.
The upper body resembled a female, with curvaceous contours, and her hair was composed of countless small snakes, like Medusa's. Both her hands were snake heads with bared fangs, and her lower body was a coiled serpent's tail. The body emanated an endless aura of evil.
Toxic Serpent Deity·Vinomagnia descended!
"Finally..." Amen raised his eyes to look at the terrifying creature, "...he has summoned it."
Even he felt sympathy for the professor.
Well, the professor's mental state seemed to be teetering on the edge of madness.
"Serpent Deity! Do you see? I've summoned it, I've summoned it!" Cobra burst into laughter.
"The effect of Toxic Serpent Deity·Vinomagnia! Like Viper King, its attack power is determined by the number of Crawling Beasts in the Graveyard!"
In my Graveyard, including the Viper King that just entered, there are a total of eight Crawling Beasts! Therefore, the attack power of the Toxic Serpent Deity becomes..."
[Toxic Serpent Deity·Vinomagnia: ATK 4000]
An attack power comparable to Obelisk!
