Hey guys what is up this is slayer2031 here coming back at ya with another chapter of The Power of the Multiverse! Also sorry for not updating sooner but I have had a busy week.
DaBoss: Your welcome and I will. I plan for this story to go through all ten books with new twists and turns around every corner and then add on some more stuff at the end.
Mount Olympus, Throne Room
3rd Person POV
It was a peaceful afternoon on Olympus. There were minor gods and nymphs walking down the streets. Going into different stalls and shops to purchase various items, needed or not. The muses were tuning their instruments for their next concert and Apollo was driving his chariot, or at least, trying to. Although said chariots human form wished he would stop picking up nymphs and minor goddesses and banging them in the back seat.
Which is what led to this argument.
"Seriously I'm tired of you using me to pick up chicks. I've been feeling very unappreciated these last thousand years. Sometimes I feel like you take me for granted." Sunny spoke. Also don't insult his name, his dad was drunk. Oh and his dad is Aether. Yes, Aether is the father of the sun itself, deal with it.
"Dude you know I appreciate you a lot and all the mortals do too. You are literally the thing that keeps them alive, how is that not appreciation." Apollo replied.
"I don't know maybe the fact that this is the first time I've been in human for for two centuries, the fact that the only thing you use me for is the occasional demigod pickup and banging goddesses. I think I have a right to feel unappreciated."
As Apollo was about to reply lightning thundered through the sky. They both knew what it meant, but not what it was for. Zeus had called a council meeting, he usually doesn't call these things himself so they knew it was important.
"I'm coming and you can't stop me!" Sunny yelled before flashing into the throne room.
"Sadly, you're correct." Apollo muttered. You see the sun is really powerful along with the moon because over seven billion mortals believed in them. That belief gives a lot of power. Sunny could probably escape Olympus with all the Olympians after him unscathed.
Everyone flashed into their thrones one or two at a time. It was the usual, Demeter dreaming of cereal, Poseidon wanting to go back underwater, Hera complaining about demigods, Dionysus complaining about not being drunk, Aphrodite and Ares being rumpled from being called from a 'session', etc. The only non-normal thing happening was that Apollo was arguing with Sunny. Everyone slowly calmed down and just started watching the argument until Zeus got fed up and yelled "I call for this meeting to start!"
Apollo and Sunny then noticed that everyone was looking at them oddly and Athena finally asked the question everyone was wondering "Apollo who is that?"
Sunny audibly sighed "Of course everyone knows Apollo but no one knows who I am. He never talks about me does he. Oh well my name is Sunny and I'm the physical manifestation of the sun. Also known as the sun chariot. Oh and I'm a son of Aether and Hemera, that too."
Everyone blinked one, blinked twice, before all chaos broke loose and people started yelling. Things like "Why didn't I know this!" or "Is my bike a person?" or "Can he give me wine and overpower Zeus' punishment?" etc. After it all calmed down Zeus spoke again. "Okay we'll deal with Sunny later right now I need to know did any of you feel the power surge in New York?"
There was a general agreement with the gods, it was a pretty big power surge. Then Poseidon paled. Athena noticed and said "What's up with you Barnacle Brain."
Poseidon spoke shakily "That power surge… I just realized … It felt like… F-f-father. A time surge."
Zeus also paled as he realized why the surge felt so familiar. He quickly sent a lightning bolt at the ground summoning Hades, who for his part was very confused. He was normally only allowed on Olympus during the winter solstice. What could have made Zeus summon him on a day that wasn't that.
As Hades materialised out of the shadows Zeus started filling him in on what he missed. He greeted Sunny as if they were the greatest of friends which confused most of the gods. The fact that Sunny replied in a way that showed their friendship blatantly, they were shocked. How did Hades know about this but not them?
"Oh and if you're wondering how I know Sunny, he sometimes visits the underworld when he's bored and lights up Elysium for a bit." Hades said. Everyone nodded in understanding after that.
"So I say we should go to New York and spread out around the city to investigate the time surge." Poseidon spoke.
"For once I agree with Barnacle Beard, that is the best course of action." Athena agreed.
When Athena and Poseidon agreed the rest of the gods knew it was probably the best strategy. All the gods prepared to flash to different parts of New York, Avoiding Brooklyn of course.

Poseidon of course went to Yancy Academy to check on his son to make sure he was safe. He didn't think anyone knew about his son but he could never be too careful. He started using the invisibility that gods usually used around mortals. It only allowed those who knew of them to see them. Most never used it and forgot about it because most gods only went into the mortal world to have children.
As Poseidon walked the halls he thought about his son's treatment at home. He wanted to stop it, he really did! But Zeus, Hera, Amphitrite, and the other gods seemed determined to keep him out of the mortal world. He thought that they might be catching on to him what with his son being so close to Olympus.
Due to him being lost in thought he bumped into the door of the room he knew his son stayed in. He quickly turned himself to water vapor and slipped through the door. He saw his son open the door and look around. As he looked at his son's back he saw a slight shimmering, like a mist cover. He looked at his son's face and back to his back. He didn't seem to notice it.
Poseidon them panicked slightly, it might be something that harmed his son. He started focusing on piercing the strange shield on his son's back. Poseidon could start to see the shield wavering for him, but could tell that even if he broke it, others would have to break into it to see what it was hiding. It was a strange shield.
After another five minutes of Poseidon continuously glaring at his son's back, he was able to break the shield. The sheer power coming off of his son's back blew his vapory form into the wall, which hurt even as vapor, somehow. He looked at the thing on his son's back and saw what was radiating all of the power. It was a strange scroll looking object.
Poseidon paled, he realized what kind of power was radiating off of the scroll, time power. He quickly rushed out the door and flashed to Olympus.

Percy POV
I had felt my dad in the room, even when the gods think they are being discreet you can feel the power flowing from their bodies. At least, with the Greeks and Romans you can. The Egyptians hide their powers in mortals, and I haven't met any Norse gods yet so I can't tell you about them.
I could feel the fact that he was breaking through the elder scrolls natural shield, but there wasn't much I could do about it. If he knew I knew who I was he would probably panic and accidentally kill me or something.
I decided to look at the elder scroll again, I've been carrying it around with me(Which is a great workout) but I haven't done anything with it. I pulled it off my back and looked at it, hoping nothing would go wrong. I stuck it out in front of me and pulled down the flap. The strange blue designs on it had changed and I couldn't stop staring.
Images started flashing through my mind, I could only fully see a few. Me fighting a large darkness. Thalia zapping Kronos with lightning. Silena and Beckendorf getting married. Nico and Bianca fighting back to back against an army. Grover and Pan leading the satyrs against something I couldn't see. Me felling the giants, alone.
After all the images rushed through my brain I dropped the scroll. As soon as I let go the flap pulled itself back up and the scroll rolled across the floor. I was shaken from all of the images being forcefully entered into my head. I slowly picked up the scroll and put it next to me as I laid down.
