Hello everyone! I wanted to say a huge thank you—the English version has officially surpassed the French one in both views and collections! Because of this amazing support, I've decided to speed things up a bit. Also, stay tuned: there is a little surprise waiting for you at the end of this chapter!
On the screen, Percy sits back down. Chaos settles once more on his lap, resting her head on his shoulder with a satisfied sigh.
— Chaos:"Those are the rules. Break even one… and I will personally erase you.Any questions?"
The gods shake their heads, terrified and humiliated.
The screen shuts off with a hiss of contained power. The theater lights slowly come back on, revealing devastated, furious, or deeply contemplative faces. The Archbishop walks down the steps of the stage, hands clasped behind his back.
— Archbishop:"A world without lies. A world where power comes with a home. Before our Percy draws his own conclusions, I would like to hear yours.What do you have to say about what you just witnessed?"
The Cry of the Children: The Demigods
The group of heroes is in shock.
Annabeth's hands are trembling, while Clarisse grips her dagger so tightly her knuckles turn white.
— Annabeth:"We were told it was an unbreakable law. We were told our parents loved us but couldn't be there… And all of that was just so Zeus could run around without leaving an address? That's… that's criminal. What Percy did in Universe 1.1 is what we should have done centuries ago."
— Leo Valdez:"Man, Percy's Ten Commandments? I'd sign that at the bottom right, with my own blood if I had to. No more monsters hunting us down because some god 'forgot' to put a name on a birth certificate? That's paradise."
— Clarisse La Rue:"For once, Poseidon's kid had the guts not just to win a war, but to change the rules of the game. Watching Ares and the others get lectured like rookies… that was the best thing I've ever seen."
The Trial of Olympus: The Gods
Silence on the side of the thrones is sepulchral. Zeus looks like he has aged a thousand years.
— Hera: (not even looking at him, her voice calm but poisonous)"The 'Ancient Law'… I upheld it. I punished mortal women for breaking it. And now I learn I was the guard dog of a lie meant to cover infidelity.If Percy Jackson comes back here with those same rules, Zeus… I will be the first to help him erase you."
— Poseidon:"I feel… empty. I always thought I was protecting Percy by staying away. But that Percy from Universe 1.1… he proved our 'divinity' was just an excuse for our cowardice. He is more noble than all of us combined."
— Athena:"My wisdom has been defeated by a simple concept: responsibility. Universe 1.1 has shown us that we are not gods because we are powerful—we are tyrants because we refuse to grow."
— Zeus: (hoarse voice)"If these rules apply here… Olympus as we know it will collapse."
— Archbishop:"Precisely, Zeus. And perhaps it is time it did."
The Gaze of the Absolute: The Primordials
In the front row, the aura of Chaos and Nyx has changed. They look at Percy like an architect.
— Nyx:"In this universe, Chaos has found peace. She is no longer a destructive entity—she is a partner.This Percy…He doesn't seek to dominate us. He seeks to give us a reason to exist.If my Percy decides to impose these laws here… I will submit. Not out of fear, but because he finally makes eternity bearable."
— Chaos:"I saw my 1.1 version sitting on his lap. I felt her calm. We Primordials have always been alone. Percy Jackson is the first being who treats us as if we have a heart, not as if we are machines of creation.He tamed the Void with a tap on the head… and a book.It's… fascinating."
The Archbishop smiles. He senses the turning point has arrived. He looks at Percy, still in his vision-sleep, but whose eyes are beginning to move rapidly.
— Archbishop:"The audience has spoken."
The screen flickers, shifting from the cold majesty of Olympus to the familiar greenery of Camp Half-Blood in Universe 1.1.
The Archbishop sits down with a bucket of celestial popcorn, ready to enjoy the cultural shock.
The Invasion of Softness
On screen, Percy and Chaos appear near the Aphrodite cabin. The air still hums from their teleportation.
On the porch, Mr. D is snoring loudly in a lounge chair, a bottle of fermented grape juice in hand, looking like he lost a battle against boredom.
Reactions in the Theater 🎦
— Dionysus:"Finally, a version of me that understands life. Not being woken up for nonsense—that's the foundation of divinity."
— Chiron:He watches his counterpart with a mix of sympathy and concern.
The Centaur's Confusion
Chiron approaches them, relief flooding his face when he sees Percy—then he looks at the woman beside him.
— Chiron:"Percy! You're back!And… who is this young lady? A new camper?"
Percy suppresses a laugh.
— "Not exactly, Chiron. Can you gather everyone at the pavilion? I have some announcements to make."
As Chiron leaves, Chaos pouts while passing the sleeping god.
— Chaos:"He smells strongly of wine…"
— Percy:"Yeah… pretty much always."
The Suspended Moment (and the Forbidden Thought)
Chaos turns to Percy, playing with a strand of his hair, her eyes sparkling.
— Chaos:"These ten rules… that's bold. I didn't expect that from you."
— Percy:"I like giving my petty side some credit. And besides, you're letting me fix quite a few things."
Their gazes lock. The world around them seems to fade. Percy, almost hypnotized, raises his hand to touch Chaos's nebula-like hair.
They get lost in each other's eyes.
Percy's Thoughts (broadcast to the entire theater):
"I could lose myself in her eyes… stare at them for hours and never get tired.It should be illegal to be this beautiful…I think I'm falling…"
Reactions 🎦
— Chaos:She turns bright red, staring at her hands, unable to look at anyone.
— Nyx:"'Illegal to be this beautiful'?Really, Percy? You have no filter… not even in your own thoughts."
— Aphrodite: (crying)"It's so beautiful! His inner monologue is a symphony!"
— Annabeth:She lowers her eyes, heart aching. She knows she's lost—and seeing him so pure here hurts.
The Brutal Return to Reality
All the demigods have now gathered, watching silently. No one dares move in front of this couple radiating calm power.
Annabeth steps forward, her face marked by worry and jealousy.
— Annabeth:"Percy?"
No response.
— "Percy!"
Nothing.
— Annabeth (screaming at the top of her lungs):"PERCY JACKSON!!!"
Percy and Chaos jolt violently and turn toward the crowd. The moment is broken—but the electricity between them remains.
Reactions 🎦
— Leo Valdez:"Ouch! That's what you call a forced landing straight into the old friendzone!"
— Ares:"Look at that Annabeth's face… She knows she doesn't stand a chance against the boss of the universe."
— Archbishop:"The confrontation between past and future. Will Percy remain diplomatic… or will he announce his union with Chaos in front of everyone?"
The screen flickers as tension rises within Camp Half-Blood of Universe 1.1. The silence from before Annabeth's outburst has now turned into a charged, electric hum.
he Reunion and the Great Reveal
On the screen, Percy smiles with a relaxed confidence bordering on insolence.
— Percy:"Oh, hey everyone! How's it going?"
Annabeth (eyes flashing with anger):"'How's it going'?! Percy, you disappeared after the war!Who is this woman, and why did Chiron call an emergency meeting?!"
— "Oh, I was just banished to Tartarus by the Olympian Council."
The Chaos of Confusion (10 minutes of uproar)
The news explodes like a grenade. For ten minutes, the Camp turns into total chaos:
— Clarisse:"Banished?! By those cowards on Olympus?! We bled for them and they send you to hell?!"
— Travis Stoll:"Wait—Tartarus? Like, the real one? How did you come back so fast?!"
— Katie Gardner:"And who is this lady? Her aura makes me want to kneel and run away at the same time!"
— Chiron:"Percy… the Council had no right. We should have been informed."
— Annabeth:"Why is she holding your hand? Percy, answer me!"
The Divine Download
Percy raises his hands.
— "Alright, to make this simple: stop yelling and listen."
He winks at Chaos.
She smiles, lifts her delicate hand and—SNAP!
An invisible shockwave passes through every mind present. In a fraction of a second, every camper receives the full "information pack": Zeus's betrayal, Chaos's identity, Percy's new status, and most importantly, the Ten Laws that will now govern their lives.
Theater Reactions 🎦
— Nico:"A direct brain download… way more efficient than any of Chiron's lessons."
— Athena:She shudders. "Seeing your darkest secrets instantly broadcast to mortals… that's every divine politician's nightmare."
— Nyx:"She shares knowledge like bread. This version of Chaos is truly… generous."
Proof by Silk: The Queens' Ball
On screen, silence returns—but it's filled with doubt.
— A son of Ares:"This is ridiculous. Percy, equal to the Creator? Prove it!"
Percy exchanges a mischievous glance with Chaos. A devilish smile spreads across his face.
— "Oh really? You want proof?"
He snaps his fingers.
In an instant, bronze armor, swords, and orange shirts vanish. Every camper—even the boys—finds themselves dressed in puffy prom dresses, pink or glittery blue, with sashes reading "Prom Queen" and plastic tiaras on their heads.
Clarisse stands in an enormous frilly dress. Chiron has silk ribbons braided into his tail. Annabeth wears a princess gown so wide she can't even move her arms.
Theater Reactions 🎦
— Leo Valdez (falling out of his seat laughing):"LOOK AT CLARISSE! She looks like an angry cupcake!"
— Ares:He roars—this time with laughter."My own kids in prom dresses?! That's the best punishment ever!"
— Aphrodite:She claps, delighted."Finally, some style in this camp! Percy has exquisite taste for glitter."
— Zeus:He sighs, exasperated."He has half the power of the universe… and uses it for middle-school pranks…"
On screen, Percy doubles over laughing at Annabeth's horrified expression.
— Percy:"So? Still having doubts?"
Chaos leans against his shoulder, laughing just as hard. She has never been happier.
The Cookie Seal and the Weight of Souls
With another snap, the dresses vanish. The campers return to normal—but their clothes now bear a message stitched into the fabric:
"Eat my cookie 🍪 and you're dead ☠️ — Signed Percy"
Theater Reactions 🎦
— Leo Valdez:"Even with god-level power, he stays true to his priorities: food and territorial threats. Respect."
— Hermes:"That's excellent marketing. I should sell shirts like that in Olympus."
— Chaos:She smiles, amused by this reminder of his humanity.
The Clash of Hearts
As the other demigods rush off toward Olympus to claim their rights, Annabeth remains still.
She looks like a cracked marble statue.
Sensing the need for clarity, Chaos disappears in a whisper of starlight, leaving Percy and Annabeth alone.
— Annabeth:"Why?Why not me?Is it because she's the Creator? Is it power that attracts you, Percy?"
— Percy (blushing hard):"No… For starters, we're not together.I mean… not yet."
Theater Reactions 🎦
— Aphrodite:She squeals, hugging her pillow."Look at that blush! That's the purity of blossoming love!"
— Annabeth (in the theater):She lowers her head, her hair hiding her eyes as she relives the pain.
The Soulmate Speech
Percy steps closer but keeps a respectful distance. His voice becomes deeper, more mature.
— Percy:"With you, we're good friends. I respect you more than anyone.But I don't feel the same way…
I can't explain it, but I don't know why I'm drawn to her.Why I want to know everything about her.Why it physically hurts when she cries.Why the idea that she suffered alone for eternity tears me apart.
I just want to hold her… and never let go…even though we just met."
Theater Reactions 🎦: Pure Emotion
— Chaos:Frozen. Her eyes shine with cosmic light.No being—mortal or divine—has ever expressed such a desire to protect her.
— Nyx:She closes her eyes softly."It's the call of the Anchor… he became her balance before becoming her lover."
— Poseidon:"My son didn't fall in love with power.He fell in love with a loneliness that mirrored his own."
— Hestia:She smiles sadly."That's what a soulmate is. Not a choice… a recognition."
Silence falls over the theater.
The Archbishop bows slightly, hands clasped, as the screen freezes on the emotional moment between Percy and Annabeth.
Gods, demigods, and Primordials alike remain suspended… waiting.
The Awakening of Dionysus
On screen, Annabeth lowers her eyes, shoulders heavy with acceptance. She says nothing—no scene, no outburst. She simply turns and walks away toward Athena's cabin, her silhouette fading into the trees.
Chaos reappears beside Percy, her eyes sparkling after hearing his confession through their mental link.
But before they can speak—
A loud groan echoes from the porch.
Mr. D has just woken up.
He stretches, rubs his eyes… and spots Percy.
