Dark Times (An Impractical Guide Ch34 unbetaed)
Added 2025-05-15 08:49:00 +0000 UTCReaders, madmen, members of the Suicide Squad, and all those it might concern...
It is that time again.
You will find here the new (insane) adventures of Perseus Jackson and his band of joyous maniacs (the joyous is obviously important, I'm sure you will agree).
In here are a series of horribly dangerous gambits forbidden to replicate, abominable traps, and the First Battle of Manhattan (because of course, in this timeline we're guaranteed to have several).
I wanted to wish good you health and a long life-expectancy, but if you're on the Suicide Squad, well...it may be some kind of very foolish wish?
Anyway...
The chapter is 44K words-long, 120 pages or so in word-format. That should keep you all busy for a while...I hope.
May your minds be sufficiently strong to keep the madness at bay...
Until next time!

As much as I want to say Athena is a double Agent...in this exact scenario, there's alas a far more reasonable explanation: Zeus didn't bother informing him of certain facts, meaning she's totally ignorant of what awaits the Twins in the Garden of Hesperides. Same as Nocturna, in fact. You can't reveal by accident the plan if you don't know the plan in the first place.

If the God of the Sun is in a life-or-death situation and/or genuinely unable to come to her help, Artemis' support is reduced to the Huntresses, which are...not exactly able to handle the divine-level stuff.

2025-05-18 09:27:26 +0000 UTCI get the feeling that Artemis is going to learn that making enemies of literally everyone who isn't Apollo isn't the best idea

All goes according to plan! - Python takes on for the Team and ensures that Apollo and Artemis are taken out of the game, so they can't prevent the actions of the Coalition and stopping the Ascensions of Neo-Helios and Neo-Selune is out of the question too. - Double Agent Athena is still in full swing and ensured together with Nocturna the timely delivery of one (1) Oracle straight to Phyton (giving an artist something that electrocutes them when they go into themselves for the art to happen is bound to have an effect. giving that artist training in a slightly overpowered ability and the knowledge of where to find the second part of her gift from her future Patron, who actually wants to foster her abilities) - Nocturna strikes again and again! First she ensures the delivery of one (1) Oracle to Python in due time by ensuring her fellow Oracle's abilities will strengthen and giving her a way out, then she sows additional mistrust in the questers thus pointing them again at Olympus and she played the bait that lured the heads of the enemies counterintelligence into a prepared ground, where leaving is impossible for the near future. She sadly didn't manage to escape, yet, but I'm sure her efforts will pay off and she will prevail.
