(3rd POV)
Perseus had many things running through his mind throughout any given day. Things like what to create, destroy, how to help, and just what to do in general. In many ways giving his creations the right to choice was the best and worst thing ever. It was good in that it was interesting watching people make choices and justify them, and it was bad in that sometimes the choices made were horrible and would result in many difficulties. He learned a long time ago to judge people on what they did and not what they could've done, because the possibilities were almost endless in what they could've done. Watching was what Perseus did best that and waiting, such was the responsibility of being the creator of the Universe and everything in it. Hardly anything ever went bad enough that required Perseus direct interference, he had set a firm line on when and if he would step in. Unless that line was crossed than Perseus himself wouldn't do anything but watch and wait, that wasn't to say he wouldn't send his angels to monitor and guide the situations though.
Centuries had gone past since Perseus little expenditure through Rome, it was hilarious watching Jupiter throw his temper tantrums about not finding the power source. Alas Perseus just sat back and watched on as the world continued, as Rome fell and the Olympians moved on to the next western power. Perseus himself had blessed the eternal flame located in Hestia's Hearth long ago before Greece fell. The flame would always burn and direct them to the next great Western Power, although after Rome fell the Olympians spent almost an equal amount of time in both their Greek and Roman forms. Currently Olympus was stationed over London, England as it was the current western power. That would most probably change after the Revolutionary War was over, not that Perseus had anything to do with who one. He just knew that throughout history suppressing the people's rights hardly ever ends well, either the suppressor stops or suppressed all die out.
Perseus was right of course as he usually was, the Olympians were slowly being drawn to the former colonies of England. The newly formed United States of America would soon be the home for Olympus. It actually took a lot less time than Perseus expected it to, but as the Americans grew in power so did the pull of the west. It always interested Perseus when and where the Olympians would move next, he kind of thought it was interesting to watch as world powers fell and rose. That was life though and it would keep happening that way for many more years until he finally saw a reason to end it.
The American Civil War proved to be an interesting thing to watch, the Greeks in the North vs the Romans in the South. The Romans nearly won the war, but the Greeks finally found someone capable to lead them into battle and turned the tides. When the North won the Olympians finally grew tired of the fighting between the Romans and the Greeks and separated them permanently. The Greeks were allowed to stay where their current encampment was since they officially won, but the Romans were forced to leave from the south and head west. They chose to set up residence in California and while they did this the Olympians worked to stop the fighting between the two longtime enemies. They came to the solution to make both sides forget about the existence of the other by using the Mist in the same way it worked for mortals. Hecate herself had to work a long time to cast that specific enchantment but when it was finally done it was worth it. Neither the Greeks or the Romans could remember their enemy and the slight rift between the Olympians forms was healed for the time being.
Changes were happening all over the United States mostly all for the better, so Perseus just sat back and watched everything happen. He would occasionally send an angel to whisper in the ear of someone important but beyond that stayed out of it. He had set up a boundary line for the Olympians, a place where they would hold little to no power. He did this as a reminder that only he could reign supreme over everything, even if they had no idea of his existence. The place was to the North of the United States border line. There the Olympians would hold as much power as a minor gods demigod, and unless their domain was the North or something than there would be no way around it.
With that done Perseus decided to turn his attentions elsewhere. One of the distant planets rulers was trying to take over the Universe and was really starting to get on Perseus' nerves. Especially they claimed they were the most powerful beings in the Universe and started committing mass genocide on other planets. While he could just smite them were they stood and be done with it that wouldn't be a powerful enough symbol. So he came up with another solution to the problem, he would send the Archangel Michael and his armies to deal with it.
Michael took his orders in stride and gathered his army of angels to deal with the rebel planet. The orders were simple kill everyone involved with the plot and leave Perseus' symbol in the air for all to see. So that is exactly what Michael did and it was as easy as taking candy from a baby. The rebel army stood no chance against Michael and the Army of the Lord. When the task was done Michael put a flaming symbol in the air telling exactly who killed them. The symbol was simple but told a lot at the same time, there were three parts to it from top to bottom. The top was a crown, the middle was a pair of angel wings with a capital (P) in the center directly under the crown, and the bottom was the letter MLRG. The MLRG was the part that said it was the Army of the Lord who did it, as each letter was the beginning letter of each leaders name.
Michael came back and reported the success to Perseus immediately after the battle was concluded. Perseus was happy to hear this and dismissed him to rest with the rest of the army. With that done Perseus was able to return to watching and maintaining the rest of the Universe along with keeping an eye on the Olympians.
