The son of Poseidon tried to move using his speed but fell over, he was still weakened from his interaction with Cthulhu. He tried to use Smoke Form but he was out of mana. The spike came closer, Craig and Timmy jumped in the way but the spike just went through them turning them into smoke.
It was a few feet away from Percy, the demigod put his hands up in defence, he didn't want to die, not now, not like this. His eyes were squeezed shut when suddenly;
SLCHINK!
Percy opened his eyes and found himself unharmed. But in front of him stood Odysseus with a the spike lodged between his ribs.
[Odysseus!] Percy yelled out as he caught the man before he fell to the ground.
[I'm alright little one,] he said in a weak smile, [I shall live yet.]
[Keep quiet,] Percy said as he looked over the man's wound, [oh gods it's wnet through you body!]
[Haha that bad huh?] Odysseus asked looking at his shoulder and gawking at it, [oh gods it's worse.]
Percy turned to the monster of the sea who had already gone underwater. Percy's narrowed his eyes in rage but he didn't have time for that, he needed to look after Odysseus. Percy turned to Odysseus's wound and used Observe on the spike;
Janai'ngo's spike,
Causes -1000 HP damage per minute. Causes death.
Poisonous in nature— will continue to cause erosion in victim until death
Percy's eyes widened in shock, [Odysseus it's-it's bad.]
The greek hero smiled, "I figured. It's fine kid, it's okay."
Percy looked at the man and shook his head, "no, it's not."
"If this is my time than so be it," Odysseus said with a smile. The crew slowly gathered around with many openly crying tears for their fallen captain, "now now guys....don't -don't cry."
Percy felt tears threaten to cloud his eyes but Gamer's mind refused, Percy refused. Anger grew in Percy but again Percy didn't let it take over, doing so would activate 'Le Bete.'
Percy lifted Odysseus up, "I'm not letting you die," he said as he opened his inventory.
"It id the will of the Fates," Odysseus replied sounding more and more weaker already.
"Fuck the Fates," Percy replied as he slowly put Odysseus away inside his inventory keeping him in a form of status.
"Where is Odysseus?" Galen asked with his jaw hanging low.
"Safe," Percy said turning to the sea, "he won't die until I take him out of where I stored him. Right now he is between death and life."
As Galen and the crew slowly came to terms with this news Percy walked to the edge of the boat and got on top.
"Where are you going?" Galen asked.
Percy lifted his left hand up and called back Marcia and put the gauntlet away, "I'm going to kill the son of a bitch once and for all."
Galen nodded and threw something at Percy. The son of Poseidon reacted quickly and caught the object and found it to be Odysseus blade, Yew Breath.
"He dropped it when he saved your life," GAlen explained with a hard look taking over his face, "it is charmed to cut through anything. Use it to kill the son of a bitch who did this."
Percy nodded and unsheathed the blade. He threw the sheath to the side and dropped down into the ocean;

Percy swam down quickly.
'300 meters.' Percy felt around for the monster only feeling nothing but the thought and feeling of normal sea creatures.

'600 meters' Percy felt it, it was deep inside but it was there. Janai'ngo ran back to the very bottom of the sea, which is where Percy was going to follow.
'800 meters,' light once again died off but Percy could see clearly as day.
'1,500 meters,' Janai'ngo felt even further away than before, it seemed that Percy misjudges the actual depth of the ocean.
'2,000 meters.'
'3,000 meters.'
'4,000 meters.'
At 4,500 meters Percy could see the bottom of the ocean. And there sitting in a cave was Janai'ngo. It immediately sensed Percy, "DEMIGOD!"
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Percy roared out as he sent a blast of ice at the monster piercing one of it's tentacles.
The monster roared as it sent a blast of water right at Percy who easily managed to avoid the attack sending a large ice trident at the monster piercing it into the ground.
"I shall eat you whole demigod!" Janai'ngo roared out as he launched spikes at Percy, who avoided them with ease. The demigod swam towards the monster and avoided all of its remaining tentacles. Percy swam to the top of the cave and punched it with his Giga Impact causing it to collapse on top of Janai'ngo pinning the monster down.
"DEEEEMMMMIIIIGODDDD!" The monster roared but Percy payed it no mind. The son of Poseidon swam in front of the monster and looked, simply looked at the monster face. The thing had only three working eyes left, Percy had destroyed the rest. The hole to the side of it's head was broken in deeper and Percy could see the edges were infected. It had a few tentacles remaining with a huge hole present in its bottom.
"Beg," Percy said as he lifted Yew Breath up, "beg for you life. Beg like those mermaids probably did when you tortured them."
"You know not who you fight with demigod!" The monster roared out, "I beg to no one!"
"Than beg to you master to come save you again," Percy said as he allowed his blood lust to seep into this voice, "beg and I'll spare you."
"You do not yet understand who you fight do you demigod?! I am-" the monster stopped mid sentence as Percy slammed a fist right isn't it's hard shell. It used its remaining eyes and looked at Percy, really looked for the first time, and slowly something dawned on the creature, "you are not the son of Triton are you?"
"I am the son of Poseidon, not Triton."
The monster started to panic but in a last ditch attempt to wrapped it's tentacles around Percy's legs and pulled the demigod towards him. He pushed Percy downwards and waited for him to drown as being this close to him would automatically cancel his powers.
Percy waited for it to come, the suffocation, the desperation, but it never did. He blinked, he was right under Janai'ngo's eyes and yet he could breath just fine. He smiled, he didn't know why, but the monster couldn't affect him any more. Percy sung Yew Breath and cut off the tentacle holding him down.
"WHAT!?" The monster roared as one of it's last tentacles were cut off, "how are you still alive!?"
"I don't know," Percy simply replied as he formed several stakes made out of ice and plunged it into the monster's back.
"ARGH!" The monster roared out in pain. It tried to get away, to crawl away, but it was pinned down.
"It doesn't really matter," Percy dashed forward and placed the tip of the blade near the hole made by his canon, "I'm going to end you right here and now."
The monster's eyes twitched, it's pincers started to move without any control, "Cthulhu will avenge my death! He will-"
"-Beg," Percy whispered as he pierced on of the monster's pincers before ripping it out with his bare hands.
"ARGH!" The monster roared in pain. It looked up at Percy, "you are making a mistake"
"Beg," Percy gathered all the water around him, strangely enough the water around the monster wasn't resisting anymore, he could control it easily. He used the water and pierced all of Janai'ngo's remaining eyes causing the monster to become totally blind.
"STOP!"
"BEG!"
"I'm-I'm sorry-"
"I SAID BEG!"
"I begging you please don't kill me!"
Percy narrowed his eyes and the monster, as a cruel smile slowly spread across his face, "burn in the underworld monster," Percy plunged the white blade into the monster's brain and pushed until it was hilt deep inside. Percy channeled his earthquake vibrations into the sword and pushed the blade inside deeper, "EARTH MOVER!"
Percy unleashed his new technique causing the entire area around the monster to collapse in on itself. Percy took the blade out and swam away just as the last of the ground gave way and collapsed onto of the monster. Percy saw it slowly disintegrate into nothing leaving Percy all alone in the bottom of the sea.
Percy panted, 'it's over, it's finally over.'

Percy pushed the notification aside when suddenly a bright light shined from the collapsed cave. Percy squinted his eyes but eventually they adjusted and saw the light coming in the form of a door. Percy could feel the door pull him closer, it was calling out to him.
Percy tightened his hold on the blade but cautiously swam towards the white door and the moment he reached out to touch it he was enveloped in a flash of light.
Unknown Location
Percy opened his eyes and found himself in middle of a marble room. The room had no windows or doors and was bare except for Greek pillars lining the corners. Percy looked at them all in wonder until he noticed the giant golden spinning wheel located in the center of the room.
The son of Poseidon walked up to the wheel and looked at it closely. Etched into the very gold were pictures depicting the life of a man. The man was moving, from first being baby, to an adult, to an old man and then a ghost. Then the picture changed, this time it was a woman, she was born a baby, became a teenage and then died abrouptly.
Percy then looked at the yarn produces. The giant wheel priced hundreds of strings in every spin and each glowed a different unique colour. There were some with a solid colour while others were mixed. Some looked like they were the twin of another while some stood out unique amongst all it's companions.
"I see you have made yourself familiar with my work already Percy," said a gentle and familiar voice.
Percy turned to the voice and found an old woman wearing grey sitting in front of all the threads being made. She smiled at Percy as the demigod face went from happy to surprise, "Lady Clotho?"
"Indeed Perseus," the Fate nodded as she stood up from her spot near the threads walking up to Percy, "I imagine you are wondering why you are here."
"Yeah..." Percy said looking around, "for starters where the hell am I?"
"My domain," Clotho said gesturing to the room, "a place where no one can access without my permission. A place with no entrances or exits that I don't create. A place locked outside of space and time."
"Thought you lived in a cave with your sisters?"
"We do, but this is where I come to do my work in peace, spending eternity with your siblings can be....difficult. This is my....what's the phrase? My little hole in the ground."
"So....why am I here?" Percy asked, "not that I'm complaining or anything it's just that I was in the middle of something."
"Yes....that is why I have called for you," Clotho said walking up to Percy, "the creature you faced, do you know who it was?"
Percy looked at the Fate, her eyes were black and filled with little blue thread criss crossed through them, "it was something old, something very very powerful and very old. And it served something even more powerful."
Clotho nodded, "indeed, the being you speak of is called Cthulhu. You have had a run in with him I believe."
Percy nodded, "yeah, I kinda got the full on experience."
"The power you felt Percy was not of a simple god, but of a being that is beyond our world, beyond our comprehension. Percus I have called you here to warn you," Clotho turned serious, "never ever face one of them, ever again in combat. You got lucky this time, it was a being that was weak, still bound by our laws of physics, something that can be killed. The only reason you could breath underwater near it at the end was because you drank some of it's blood making you immune to its powers. But if you ever encounter one of them again, turn away and run."
Percy raised an eyebrow, "how powerful can they even be?"
Clotho sighed, "you do not understand, that is...understandable. Humans aren't supposed to understand these things," Clotho tapped her chin before smiling, "maybe I can help."
The Fate stretched her right index finger and a golden energy ball appeared on the tip. She approached Percy who backed away wary of the ball, "relax Perseus," Clotho said, "I mean you no harm and never will."
The demigod sighed and nodded as Clotho pressed the ball of energy between his eyes;
Ping!
You have obtained, temporarily, the ability to see deities true forms without exploding!
Percy blinked and pushed the notification away, "so you gave me the ability to see people true forms, why?"
"For this," Clotho said as slowly her enter being started to glow, "do not close your eyes Perseus," she said as he body exploded in blue and gold. The old woman from before was gone, replaced by a young maiden wearing a blue greek robe partial covering her chest allowing one breast to be exposed. He hands were covered with golden threads wound together to make thick bracelets and on her head was a crown made of sapphires.
Percy looked at the goddess in wonder as the power he felt coming off her filled his very being. The longer he looked, the more her felt he wasn't seeing. Slowly though the image of Clotho's physical form was replaced by something else, something bigger. Slowly life itself presented was shown to Percy. Like a thread being spun, man's life was twisted and made whole.
Percy saw the human races, he saw the world, the galaxy and slowly nothing. Percy blinked, it was to much, all that knowledge, the knowledge of what was to come, what is happened, all of it was right there in front of him.
The demigod looked again and suddenly his own image was shown. It was him as a baby, him as a child. The battle he waged against the Minotaur was clearly seen, his fight with Marchosias. Luke betraying him, the camp dying. Artemis and him sitting together in the park on his birthday, Sally smiled at him when he came home while Leo pissed on his leg. He saw himself fighting zombies, skeletons and goblins and then boarding Odysseus ship.
