If fact, it would be beneficial for Ares to kill Percy so that he could start the war with the gods he was trying. The only reason why Ares didn’t kill him was the agreement they made and the pretty cool call back to the Iliad. With Hades, he was trying to lock Percy in the underworld until nico turned 16, and when the fought on the banks of the River Styx, he tells his forces to “destroy him” tho intentions could be argued. Even in that fight hades doesn’t even considers popping his god form, opting to teleport instead. Plus the river gods instead of trying to use it on Percy, just sit there and literally claim they can’t kill him

Giants don’t have a god form as far as I know, and the Titians are alittle bit more nuanced. When Percy and Prometheus where meeting in the parley, the latter says that none of the Titians were full strength until Kronos was completely revived ( which is insane to think about. Hyperion was keeping up and pulling COA Percy with a sea amp, and Iapetus was slapping the three most powerful demigods we knew at the time- while at a powered down state!!) so they probably can’t use a god form until he gets his.

Bottom line for me is that maybe they COULD use it for a super sayian, but we never see apply in that way, so I personally can’t calypso the benefit of the doubt there Ares and Hades weren't really trying to kill Percy. Ares was messing with Percy and Hades would make Poseidon very unhappy if he used his true form. I think using it is usually not allowed for killing demigods, as it will make other gods unhappy (and make you look very stupid for needing to use it just to kill a demigod.

I don't think enough people worship the gods of the East and Hudson rivers for them to have to true form.
