Sorry Sonata. . . I mean no disrespect. It's just that I don't know if the Hindu Pantheon, with it's allegedly enormous number of deities, can cooperate with each other. . . If the Dragon can take any single Pantheon, including the Hindu Pantheon down in combat, then I foresee people in every Pantheon just putting together their most powerful deities to fight it.

I think the big problem with the Merged is the fact they have yet to have their roles relative to others defined yet. There's also the issue that Apocalypse Dragon has allies, so any upfront battle of pure force may lead  to a Ragnarok scenario where everything blows up and the world ends due to the fighting. 

This, of course, means he wins by default even if he's killed. We have to be more clever than starting a new titanic war immediately after the last one. The best route to do that is to hold a Council of the Gods to figure out what to do and how to do it.
