The Labyrinth Invasion (an Impractical Guide to Godhood ch4)
🕑 Added 2021-07-09 08:04:01 +0000 UTCAs always, fair warning.
If you think you want a story where the heroes are paragons of virtue, where good will always return after a brief period of villainy, where unity and friendship are the greatest assets of humanity against the rising darkness...
Well, this chapter isn't for you, since it includes betrayal, attempted assassinations, dark and disturbing rituals, and the heroes are villains, unless it's the reverse.
You haven't been discouraged?
Then let the madness begin...
A.N: Chapter 3 will be posted today on the other websites.

The Lethe is mentioned a lot, yes, but it's more because it's one of the ultimate alibis card that even the Gods can't exactly negate with a wave of the hand. Riptide returns only to the legitimate owner, and Perseus doesn't even know the blade exists as more that Heracles surely has a sword during his trials...
Antony444
Kairos-Perseus would be the first to argue he relies a lot on charisma, yes, but not that much luck, he prefers to prepare an impressive number of contingency plans and to activate them when it suits him. But yes, I agree the canon Perseus could benefit from a few sessions of evil laughter...

Yes, Indeed I agree 100% villain back in the day equaled the enemies hero. Not this higher moral ground that said Percy did send medusa's head to the gods in the hopes of turning them into stone.
hurdurderp
I've always thought that OG Percy, and the entire storyline as a whole, was far too tame for a "Greek Hero" kind of tale. This version of Percy is far closer to what I think the Ancient Greeks would have loved in a hero.

One out of the twelve down so many more to go. Already making new foes so that doom always spread out among the band of 'heroes'. Found it funny when Amy Cosmos tried to mess with the soon-to-be goddess by herself and LoL at the curse. Nightshade I really hope your band of huntresses were not the first group of demigoddess that Jackson met, cause that would explain everything about their relationship. I think you are foreshadowing the waters of Lethe a lot. So I guess anything that would restore memories lost to Lethe would return ones belonging to the missing timeline? That would be extremely interesting... Oh, yea before I forget again if ripetide does not have an owner yet would it return the Percy as a pen in his pocket?
MehOhWell
....This might be peak Percy Jackson. He really does have all the charisma and luck of the original tempered by enough intelligence and insanity to actively leverage both. Honestly, the OG Percy could use a bit more evil cackling.
Antony444
No, Perseus didn't steal the bolt or the trident. While it would be something worthy of a mastermind, the slightest clue it was him would see him very, very dead in short order and condemned to a million years of hell in the Fields of Punishment, if not Tartarus Prison. Plus since Poseidon wouldn't have agreed, he would have needed a God or a Goddess to help, and he doesn't know them very well...
Antony444
Well, Perseus definitely taunted Fate to the maximum of his abilities. If the pink crocodile isn't seen again, it's not his fault.
Antony444
Yep! Let's see the positive side, her arachnophobia is gone...
Antony444
Yep, but well...there's still a mutual legacy of distrust between the children of Poseidon and Athena. Perseus doesn't care much about it (he never lived at Byzantium, and makes betrayal a matter of principle, Athena or no Athena) but Annabeth definitely cares about it...
Antony444
Thanks for the compliments!
Antony444
You're welcome, continue to read! As for the spiders, Perseus will give a few explanations in the next chapter...

This is the best NotPercy I ever read! Please tell me the Pink croc will show up again.

I love this story and can’t wait for more, NotPercy building up his resources and shanghaiing everyone else to help him while technically accomplishing the objectives of the quest is really funny to me. Also I still hope he was the one to steal the bolt and trident and somehow hid it or erased it from his memory to set up this war or some other event. Can’t wait for next one
Mordred
You know what I'm impressed that is a delightfully ironic punishment for a child of Athena
Bel
No 'Annie', don't listen to Zoe! You saw what happened when somebody tries to backstab Percy!
Rockinalice
This story gets better and better every chapter

Congratulations Antony444, you have convinced me to follow a story whose cross (Percy not PGTE) I genuinely don’t like. Now I must read this fic from the beginning and see where that spider came from. Keep up the good work.
