Well, if Sauron do not fear the Valar even though he witnessed the destruction of the First Age, then he is probably blind...

Even if Sauron do not fear the Valar, he would have realised that the Illuvator would probably step in to weed him out. Eru destroyed an entire land to vend his wrath against the corrupt Numenoreans. If the need arise, Eru could probably stage another 'Noah and the Flood' incident just to destroy Sauron, and why not?

But then, I don't really believe that Sauron could either maintain his power over Arda, or gather sufficient strength to release Morgoth. Politics at the point of a spear is tiring work...
