Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes, summoned!
Adrian: "So it’s at Obelisk-level attack power..."
"And, Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes cannot be targeted by any card effects, and cannot be affected by any card effects at all!"
Viper shouted angrily.
"Now it’s over! Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes, attack ’The Tripper Mercury’!"
A killing blow—carrying unstoppable might, the Serpent God’s twin arm-heads blasted forward in unison!
Kira: "In that case, I activate—"
"MUDAA!" Viper cut him off, shouting, "The Serpent God does not accept any card effects!"
"I know."
Kira smiled and revealed a card from his hand.
"But what I’m activating is ’Kuriboh’ in my hand. By discarding it, I can make one instance of Battle Damage become 0."
It didn’t try to affect a monster, nor did it target anything. Even an invincible, fully effect-proof god couldn’t do a thing about Kuriboh.
"Tch."
Viper snorted.
"But either way, Mercury’s already been destroyed. And you’d better be careful."
He narrowed his eyes, voice dropping low.
"Once you’re scratched by the Serpent God’s venom, you die instantly. Even a tiny graze means certain death," Viper said coldly. "Once you take Battle Damage from Vennominaga, from that moment on the countdown starts. Three turns later, it’s an automatic victory for me!"
A chill ran through Adrian’s heart.
What a terrifying ability!
Absolute resistance to effects, sky-high ATK, and on top of that, an auto-win condition built into the rules. No wonder the Duel King repeatedly tried to prevent that monster from being summoned. No wonder Viper was so obsessed with calling it forth.
It truly was a godlike monster, one that practically ruled the entire Duel once it appeared!
Viper laughed loudly. "Do you see? This is godlike power, absolutely invincible—"
"My turn, draw," Kira cut in without mercy. "I activate the Spell Card ’The Shallow Grave’. Each of us chooses one monster in our own Graveyard and Special Summons it in face-down Defense Position."
(Anime Effect)
"From the Graveyard?"
Viper let out a cold chuckle.
"You think reducing the number of Reptiles in my Graveyard will lower the Serpent God’s ATK? Heh. That makes hardly any difference.
Very well, then rise again—Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes!"
[Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes – DEF 0]
"Then I revive ’The Tripper Mercury’ from my Graveyard," Kira said.
Viper snorted indifferently. "Mercury’s effect needs three Tributes to activate. Besides, even if it had an effect, it doesn’t work on the Serpent God. So it’s completely—"
"Yeah, I know. That’s not the point."
Kira smiled.
"Originally, I’d planned to do everything I could to stop your Serpent God from appearing. But the possibility you’d get it out was already within my expectations.
And since Professor has shown me your strongest monster, I’ll answer by using my strongest monster."
He paused, his smile fading.
"A monster even the Serpent God can be easily defeated by—a truly ultimate, vicious evil."
Viper’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Even the Serpent God could be easily beaten...
