@Masterbolt234: I know but I am not bothered to add all of Percy's feats. Okay, the Ares feat is also underrated at times because people think it is flawed because Percy beat Ares but Percy was beaten by Luke who was beaten by Ares. First of all, Percy was out of practiced when he fought Luke and his sword was also unbalanced in his hand. As for Chrysoar, people think that the Ares feat is flawed as Percy lost to Chrysoar who was considered in a similar power level as Ares. Percy was also rusty against Chrysoar. Many of Percy's powers have grown stronger since then but too late, Percy realized that swordplay wasn't one of them. He was rusty, at least against an adversary like Chrysoar. That was from MOA in Percy's fight with Chrysoar. So Percy was also out of practiced when he fought Chrysoar. In conclusion, the Ares feat is NOT flawed. Percy defeating Iapestus is also extremely underrated. Percy was massively injured in that fight and was tired from allowing Thalia and Nico from safely crossing the Lethe. And yet, Percy was able to injure Iapestus and hold his own against him. Iapestus swung his spear like a tornado. I just managed to dodge his strikes. Even weakened and just out of the pit, that guy was fast. I just managed to dodge his spear as it impaled on the rock I was just standing on. Iapestus was weakened but that only deters him from releasing his divine form. As for Hyperion, Percy probably could have beat Hyperion without the curse of Achilles too as it was literally a fire vs water fight and the curse only helps with swordplay. The only time he might have needed it was when: Hyperion waved his hand and a wall of force slammed into me. I went sailing 300 feet backwards across the park. However, Percy has been able to take even stronger blows than that without the curse of Achilles and later fight deities similar in power to Hyperion. For instance, Porphyrion backhanded Percy like a pesky fly. The son of Poseidon went flying and crashed into one of the columns with a sickening crunch. And later, Percy was able to hold his own against Thoon. Percy was back on his feet, Riptide in his hand. He looked dazed and had a nosebleed but he seemed to be holding his own against the old giant Thoon who had somehow reattached his hand and found his meat cleaver. Percy was also flicked across the room by Kronos and later, was able to still fight Kronos himself. Kronos looked at me with an amused smile. Then he flicked his finger and I went flying across the room, slamming into a wall. I struggled to regain my footing but Kronos was already on his feet, his scythe in his hands.For Kronos, both combatants had the curse of Achilles and needed to use it so it was completely fair. I jumped up and stabbed at Kronos's stomach but the blade bounced off his skin like it was made out of solid marble. He couldn't have survived that. But Kronos did because he had the curse of Achilles as well. And not to mention Kronos also had all of Luke's skill.
