The black and gold dragon barely missed the Hubble telescope but seconds later it exploded as Ravana burst through it. Yawheh was right behind him. Yahweh drew his arm back and hurled a lightning bolt at the dragon. The dragon dodged it easily and flew even faster as it made for the dark side of the moon.
The Eater of Gods and the Emperor of the 7 Realms briefly lost sight of the Dragon God behind the moon, but then spotted it when it reappeared on the other side and flew directly at them. Startled, the two Demon Kings soared out of its way. The dragon belched twice and two fiery balls of plasma as bright as the sun shot directly into the paths of the demons' dispersal.
The two demons were caught off guard and both intercepted the plasma blasts before they could brake or adjust their trajectory. It took them a few precious seconds to shake off the effects of the attack, and the dragon was already hurtling towards the centre of the solar system.
Hermione and Alex watched the two demons follow Harry Dragon towards the sun. They waited until they were all a few hundred thousand km ahead before taking up pursuit themselves. Behind the moon, the Golden Triune had split into three smaller dragons again, then used magic to make themselves appear to be the same size as the Dragon God. The demons were none the wiser.
Harry Dragon dodged lightning bolts and kundalini blasts. He increased his velocity. He spotted Venus about a million km to his left and veered towards it. Five minutes later he dived into the Venusian atmosphere and under a thick layer of clouds.
Yahweh stopped short, but Ravana flew in after the dragon. Aphrodite was one of the few Olympians to have survived the massacre. Hermes he had captured and sent to the Fire Realm. But Aphrodite had fled Earth and taken up residence on the planet which had been given her Roman name. She was dangerous, and she had the power of an entire planet at her disposal. Yahweh decided to let Ravana stir the hornets' nest by himself. Yahweh would wait for the outcome.
Harry had no idea what Venus was like. He had only seen one documentary on the Dursley's television. And he hadn't paid enough attention in Astronomy. All he knew was that it was very very hot and uninhabitable.
So he was shocked to find that under the dense cloud cover were forests and meadows, rivers and lakes and seas. He sensed animal life and insect life, and above all he sensed magic. Harry Dragon heard a sonic boom and knew that at least one of the other demons had followed him in.
Yahweh continued to watch the planet nervously. If Aphrodite was at home today, this could get seriously ugly. There was no question that she would join forces with the Dragon God. Yahweh began to consider his options. Then he felt a searing burst of agony and passed out.
Alex and Hermione had noticed that Yahweh didn't take the bait and follow Harry to Venus. They were puzzled, but there was nothing that could be done for it. They would just have to use Yahweh's distraction to their best advantage and improvise. The two dragons split and came at Yahweh from both sides, firing plasma bolts from their open maws.
Yahweh didn't see it coming. The plasma balls collided with him in between and flared with the force of a nuclear explosion. Wasting no time, Hermione and Alex grasped the smouldering demon and flew towards the sun, hoping that Harry would shortly be with them with Ravana in tow. They would have to deal with Ravana when they got to their final destination.
Harry would have loved to explore Venus. It looked like something out of a fairy tale. He even thought he spotted a castle in the distance. But he had a massive demon on his tail, and Hermione and Alex should be waiting by now, ready to attack it when he emerged. Harry soared back up through the cloud cover as an extremely perplexed Ravana followed.
Harry was alarmed. He was in orbit above Venus but he couldn't see Yahweh, or Alex, or Hermione. But he had no options left at this point. Ravana was right behind him. Harry would just have to follow the plan and hope for the best. Harry put on extra speed as he headed for Mercury.
