Chapter 878: Obsession
Chapter 878: Obsession
Summon the Toxic Serpent Deity, Vinomagnia!
Amen: "The power of an Obelisk Level attack..."
"Furthermore, the Toxic Serpent Deity, Vinomagnia, cannot be targeted by any card effects and is unaffected by them!" Cobra shouted.
"With this, it's over! Toxic Serpent Deity, Vinomagnia, attack 'Light Aqua Mermaid'!"
The serpent deity unleashed an unstoppable force, its snake heads on both arms striking simultaneously!
You Xuan: "Then, I activate..."
Cobra interrupted, "The Toxic Serpent Deity is immune to all card effects!"
"I know," You Xuan smiled and revealed the card in his hand.
"But I'm activating 'Big Racket' from my hand. By discarding it, I can reduce battle damage to 0 once."
As the effect didn't target the monster or its abilities, even the invincible all-resistant Toxic Serpent Deity was helpless.
Cobra scoffed.
"However, the Mermaid has been defeated, and you should be more cautious." He narrowed his eyes and spoke in a deep voice.
"The venom of the Toxic Serpent Deity is deadly upon contact, even a minor scratch is fatal. Once you receive battle damage from the deity, the countdown begins. After three turns, I'll declare victory for my side!" Cobra said coldly.
Amen's heart trembled.
What a terrifying ability!
Absolute resistance, immense attack power, and a rule-winning effect—no wonder the Duel King repeatedly interfered with this monster's arrival, and Cobra was so obsessed with summoning it.
This is indeed a god-like monster with the power to dominate the entire duel!
Cobra burst into laughter, "See? This is the power of a god, an unbeatable force!"
"My turn, draw!" You Xuan interrupted mercilessly. "I activate the magic card 'Grave Shorts'. Both players select a monster from their graveyard and Special Summon it in Defense Position." (Original effect)
"From the graveyard?" Cobra chuckled.
"Do you think reducing the number of crawling beasts in the graveyard can weaken the Toxic Serpent Deity's attack? Haha, this is nothing."
Then, from the graveyard, rise, Toxic Snake King Vinomirion!"
[Toxic Snake King Vinomirion, DEF 0]
"I'll revive 'Light Aqua Mermaid' from my graveyard," said You Xuan.
Cobra shrugged, "The Mermaid's effect requires three tributes to activate. Besides, even if it has an effect, it's useless against the Toxic Snake King."
"Yes, I know, but that's not the point."
You Xuan smiled.
"Although the plan was to stop the professor's Toxic Serpent Deity from appearing, this possibility was also within consideration.
Since the professor has shown me his strongest monster, I'll counter with my strongest as well."
He paused, his smile fading.
"A monster that can easily defeat even the Toxic Serpent Deity, the true embodiment of evil."
Cobra's eyes flickered.
A monster that can easily defeat even the Toxic Serpent Deity?
Wait, could it be...
Just as Cobra's anger had clouded his judgment, he suddenly regained clarity, and the rage within him vanished, replaced by an indescribable fear.
"You... you want..."
"I offer your 'Toxic Snake King Vinomirion' and 'Toxic Serpent Deity Vinomagnia' on your field as tributes to summon this powerful monster.
Awaken from the depths of the abyss, the power of destruction and rebirth! Come forth, my soul—
—Level 8, Magma Demon!"
And so, as Cobra's despair and fear overwhelmed him, he stared helplessly, his eyes wide, at the churning magma and erupting lava.
Gazing at his Viper King and the invincible Toxic Serpent Deity, both were devoured by the despair-inducing magma.
The all-consuming magma converged towards him, forming an iron cage. The pitch-black cage bars turned crimson from the scorching heat, as if the entire structure was ablaze.
In that instant, Cobra felt as if this was the very cage that bound him.
Not just in this duel, but in his entire life. It seemed that at some point, his life had been sealed within this tiny iron cage, unable to escape.
And just outside this cage, right in front of him, as if only an arm's length away, he saw that child once again.
Standing there in a daze, he slowly turned around, his gaze fixed on Cobra as if he were a stranger.
Cobra's emotions spiraled out of control, and he desperately shouted. His left hand clutched the iron cage, ignoring the scorching bars burning his palm, while his right hand reached out with all its might. He pushed his body forward, as if trying to squeeze through the scorching gap.
But it was futile; he couldn't do anything.

Right before his eyes, at that seemingly arm's length distance, the magma erupted. The fiery flames devoured the boy's face, then began to distort, transforming into a towering flame demon. An abstract face emerged from the burning flames, with enormous eyes and a mouth that seemed to be in a sinister smile, which then morphed into a colossal flame giant.
The Magma Demon.
Just like the embodiment of the evil Duelist he faced, a terrifying demon born from his very soul.
Cobra collapsed to his knees, a powerful dark-skinned man with a broad back and a muscular waist, now trembling uncontrollably as tears streamed down his face.
"I beg you, don't... don't take him away."
Once again, he recalled the despair and helplessness he felt when he received the devastating news.
Suddenly, the most important person in his life was gone, and there was nothing he could do.
Yes, just like in this duel. He couldn't win; all his attacks were futile, and even summoning his ace required all his effort.
And even if he gave it his all and summoned the invincible monster that embodied all his hopes, it was still useless.
His strongest monster, the invincible god he boasted about, was merely a larger morsel.
In the end, he remained trapped in this cage, forced to witness the most painful memories, unable to take any action.
"Your turn's Preparation Phase. Effect of Magma Demon, inflict 1000 points of damage to its controller." Torikage Yuxuan's calm voice rang out.
Cobra knelt on the ground, head bowed, without uttering a sound.
[Cobra, LP800 → LP0]
"The child you wanted to save has already died," Torikage said indifferently. "The dead cannot be brought back to life. The departed should rest in peace. You should have realized this by now. Even if you fall into evil, even if you sacrifice countless innocents, it's futile.
Well, it's not entirely your fault. Someone exploited the darkness within you and amplified it manifold. Am I wrong?"
A moment of silence followed.
Then, from the kneeling Cobra, a sinister fluctuation suddenly materialized.
The fluctuation gathered, almost taking on a physical form.
It was a massive eye, filled with curiosity and a hint of anger, scrutinizing Torikage Yuxuan.
"Who... are you?"
The voice sounded feminine, yet somewhat like a boy's.
The voice questioned with an accusatory tone.
"Why did you take my toy away?"
