The League has possession of several warehouses full of super-tech and is just sitting on it they have explicitly stated that they think humanity isn't ready for this tech. So they might not bust down doors to stop advances to science they certainly don't help once they come into contact with tech that's been misused. And I'm pretty sure at least this fic has proved if most people have the option they would choose to be superhuman.And the League isn't exactly trying to stop people from enhancing themselves; most people may not want to be enhanced or there are laws in place to stop it from happening.
What happened to Cornwall boy? Haven't heard from him in a long while.
Did the demon worshippers grab or something?
A Pantheistic-Animist Alliance then?"My proposal is that non-monotheistic religions should act in concert… At least, in the initial stages, in order to normalise theological pluralism and defray potential backlash."
This may be an expansion of how several governments interact with Paul. Although he isn't a member of the Justice League, they know he has some pull with them, especially since they know Accomplished Perfect Position got in thanks to Paul's recommendation. As such, the gods go to Paul because they know he has an in with the new King of Olympus.What I'm rather curious about is the perspective of these gods on the fact that they are talking to Paul, not Hephestean.
I mean on the one hand, he's a mortal. On the other hand, he's arguably Hephestean's patron instead of the other way around (and at the very least Zeus fell and Hephestean rose because OL decided that would happen). On the third tentacle is OL just acting as Hephestean's secretary?
Now, considering how much of a opportunistic schemer Odin is, is Tyr being genuine, or is he an agent of the All-Father sent in to provide Asgard intel as to what improvements Hephaestaean is making so that the Aesir/Vanir can do likewise and hopefully avoid Ragnarok?"Týr. Or call me Tyr; I know English-speakers don't like the accents."
"Oh. Excellent. I actually recommended you for the position two years ago, so I'm very glad that you're here. Um, what's in the bag?"
He wraps his hook around the straps holding the back closed and tugs, revealing...
"Five thousand years worth of references. I'm eager to join a pantheon that's as proactive as I am, so I thought I should make a strong impression. How am I doing?"

How about an 'aura' of Depth that literally allows him to create some/all of the conditions of the Depths? Like he could create an omnidirectional crushing aura around things, all the way from 'just underwater' to 'very bottom of the Mariana Trench' or darken the surroundings, as the light seems further and farther away? make people loose contact with the ground beneath them as they start drift as if submerged in water?I get the powers he's getting, but what does "Neptune's Depth" give him?
Remember Heph talking about how Jesus's character wasn't as relevant to his religion as you'd think, since he considered his church to be the creation of Paul? They could see OL as the Paul of the Restructured Olympian Mysteries; the one laying the foundations for whatever comes after.What I'm rather curious about is the perspective of these gods on the fact that they are talking to Paul, not Hephestean.

My response to this would be that if the Shinto are so willing to help what were they doing when Oceanus was having his moment? The wave he sent towards North America would have destroyed the statue of Liberty and America as whole."By setting certain standards of behavior, we could limit the influence of those who… Struggle to remember that we're here to work with mortals. You may find our help useful if some of the Othrysians don't cope very well with freedom."
Lex as superman's devil sounds like a terrible recipe. He should get warded to avoid that.
I'm guessing you mean Persephone, and got hit by autocorrupt (or is that an alternate name for her that I missed)? That might be a good way to handle it.I have a (probably terrible) idea for how Heph could hand the Penelope situation. Basically, put the problem to Hades himself ... but not as Hades, husband of Penelope. No, let the Judge of the Dead cast his best judgement. Basically pit Hades' own devotion to evenhanded dour judgment against his emotional attachment.
... um, well that's interesting. Also worrisome and unexpected. Something to check up on after talking to Euanthe."Orange Lantern, I've known Uncle Sam for longer than anyone. I don't know who that person in Washington is, but they aren't Uncle Sam."
"Orange Lantern, I've known Uncle Sam for longer than anyone. I don't know who that person in Washington is, but they aren't Uncle Sam."
took my a -> took me aIt took my a long time to learn to fight left handed, but I prefer it to strapping a blade to my stump."
Had not considered that (since I'd forgotten that plot point, and now I'm wondering when it was brought up in the fic, though I do recall that it was), but it seems possible.Is this a similar situation to how Lucky Hans was turned into Captain Nazi?
Hephaestaean is occupying the position at the 'head' of the oval, with Metis on his right and the pile of papers and scrolls on his left. I'm not sure how they've been preserved; velum can last 1500 years but some of those are far older.
r, and it's been a learning experience. I had no idea that he used to be the head of their pantheon
And what about Fenrir?"
"I don't think he's going to give me my hand back. And I don't think I'd want it; he's probably drooled all over it."
I think Orange Lantern once suggested that I marry Athena, but I think-" Hephaestaean's tentacles stop for a moment, then go back to reading paperwork. "-that he was telling a joke
will be better than working at Ikea, which is what I was going to before
Then we fight. I can defend against their magic, and their fire does little to me."
Hephaestaean nods. "I will need to follow up on your references, but I like what I have heard. You will have my decision within nine days
I nod, standing up-. Ah. "Lady Liberty, did you ever consider recruiting Uncle Sam?"
"Sure did, but Uncle Sam has not been seen in the Heartlands or in the material world for decades."
I frown. "Yes he has. He's been hanging around Washington for months."
She looks at me quizzically.

It was back when the Team was investigating the Hitler Clone in Brazil. Wolf Krieger and Captain Nazi died at the end of that arc and Paul first claimed the Spear of Destiny. Sephitan freaked out because the Spear was too OP. It was also revealed that the Nazis captured the old 18th century national representation of Germany, Lucky Hans, and ritually killed him to create Captain Nazi, the ubermensch the Party needed. There was a line about how until Captain Nazi was killed he still had some kind of spiritual link to the German national character which is why modern Germany was still hung up on Nazi Germany in some ways in this fic.Had not considered that (since I'd forgotten that plot point, and now I'm wondering when it was brought up in the fic, though I do recall that it was), but it seems possible.
I forgot all about that. Is it possible that Truggs recruited an evil Uncle Sam from an alternate universe?Huh, I remember that in the Z.E.R.O. episode Truggs and Circe talked and then a third person showed up and their face was compared to their of a recruitment poster or something.
I remember someone suggested Uncle Sam, so it looks like they may have been partially right.
Thank you, corrected.
No, that's correct.
Boy that was fast...I'm sitting on the mid-right part of the oval, opposite our Shinto guests. Tyr looks happy enough to deliver his speech from the middle of the floor, and it's been a learning experience. I had no idea that he used to be the head of their pantheon. Or that Odin was supposed to release Fenrir, but decided that getting his boss crippled was a better idea.
But even I'm impressed with the sheer amount of retconning Mr Zoat had to do with Tyr here...Tyr is actually worse then Ares... So the amount Zoat is going to have to retcon here should be hilarious
I was wondering how Hephaestian and Euanthe would interact.I nod. "Now that that's settled, I should visit Brazil. Do you want to speak to Euanthe here?"
"Yes. She has a base of worshippers and a clear role. If she will not come, get permission for us to build temples in her new land."
