Matthew, if you're going to update the profiles accordingly this weekend, at least tell me what you disagree with and why via PM so i can answer your doubts. I'm going to be pretty disappointed if you ignore any of my responses without countering them.
Here's the second part of my FTL GOW section.
Before i present anything, i want to complement my Hermes section.
According to WoG, the Boots of Hermes are capable of keeping up with a faster-than-light Zeus, which proves once again that Hermes has FTL Combat Speed.
THE MULTIPLAYER WARRIORS
- According to the multiplayer, t
he Warriors of Zeus are capable of dashing at their enemies at the speed of light with use of a Hyperion Gate. So the Warriors of Zeus can
temporarily(not constantly; this is consistent, as you will see below) attack at the speed of light, giving them temp-Lightspeed Attack and Combat Speeds.
-
The multiplayer and its contents are plainly stated to be canon on pg. 184 of the God of War Ascension artbook . Therefore, the statement above is true.
- Not only that, but WOG also
clarifies it .
Twice. I'll also show you guys a few feats that suggest the description is true.
- There is feat for the Warriors of Ares where they leap really, really high into the heavens in a second. How large are the heavens? They are so massive in span that they are described in the GOW novels as infinite, an obviously hyperbolic statement, but that shows us the heavens are really, really big.
-Assuming the Warriors of Ares leaped where Mount Olympus would normally be in height(not an unreasonable assumption at all, as you'll see below), they traveled a distance of 8,586 miles(13,737.6 kilometers) in a single second. This is 1/20th of the speed of light, a
Sub-Relativistic feat for nameless characters. So the Warriors of Ares can travel at 5% of the speed of light. This easily scales to the Warriors of Zeus.
-The Warriors of Hades have a feat where they travel from the top of Mount Olympus all the way to the bottom in a single second as well. This means they're roughly as fast as the Warriors of Ares.
I have proven Sub-Relativistic speed with temporary Lightspeed-dashing for the nameless tiers of God of War is reasonable. Let's continue.
Castor and Pollux
-
According to WoG, Castor and Pollux from Ascension are faster than the Warriors of Zeus's lightspeed dash move . This is not a random comparison either; you can meet Castor and Pollux on the Oracle's Chamber in the multiplayer, and he mocks the champions and can easily kill you if you're not careful. In other words, him being quite a bit above the champions is self-evident in the game and further clarified by WoG.
Kratos
-
Kratos can keep up with Castor and Pollux , but WoG also suggests that they were partially toying around with Kratos, so upgrading Kratos to a mere Relativistic at this stage of the game seems fine, with him being LS towards the end of the game.
-
WOG clarifies that Kratos had dynamic stats due to rage. This is the perfect explanation as to how he is able to fight literally everyone in the verse. It makes sense and correlates nicely with we're shown; it also explains a bit of the enormous power disparity between each game(GoW II Kratos is a chewtoy of the Three Brothers, but GoW III Kratos slices Hades's head open, brutalizes Poseidon and punches Zeus so much that the screen turns red with his rage)
- Kratos keeps up with and even surpasses Zeus.
-
Kratos has an attack that is stated to be as fast as Zeus's lightning in short-busts , and Zeus's lightning is close to lightspeed by showings and WOG alone. This once again cements the consistency of the evidence i have presented.
Zeus
-
Zeus is clearly stated to be godly in comparison to his servants. Once again, this makes sense with the feats we're shown. So Zeus is
at least FTL based on WoG and actual feats.
DEBUNKING MISCONCEPTIONS
Misconception #1: Multiplayer feats are not canon.
Rebuttal: This is wrong. I showed several confirmations of the Multiplayer's canocity, including the GOW Ascension artbook.
Misconception #2: These feats contradict the atual series massively.
Rebuttal: No, not really. God of War Ascension retconned a massive amount of stuff. It retconned Chaos creating the universe for once. It makes a good deal of sense for the speed to amp'ed based on this.
