The serpent's defeat for now is only regarding hell as the destiny of all people which was true before Christ came and told the people that those who believe in Him would have eternal life, they have passed from death into life.
John 5
24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
Hebrews 2:14
Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,
Hebrews 2:15
and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Yet we read and this after Christ's resurrection and ascension this
1 Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
So him who had the the power of death, Satan has lost this power but not yet his ability to deceive and devour as a roaring lion.
But Satan's power over death for God's people has been forever and permanently broken. Christ now has the keys of HELL and of DEATH.
Revelation 1:18New King James Version (NKJV)
18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.
