Ain't none of the demigods 6C. Those feats are outliers, and they never reproduce them. Hazel sinks an island, and yet barely makes a wall fall later on, in The Tyrant's Tomb. Sky-holding should be scrapped altogether. 0 info about what this sky is. Could be 200 kilos, could be 2000, could be a billion tons. Absolutely 0 info was given to us via that. Also, the characters aren't fast enough to dodge bullets (The House of Hades, even Jason, one of the strongest demigods, couldn't react to an arm being moved to direct the pistol toward him, then the bullet being fired. The bullet was between his feet before he knew what happened, so they aren't all that fast, either.) Lots of inconsistent feats of above-normal power, but on average, they're nowhere near that tough. Hell, Percy and Annabeth were barely a direct match for Kelli, an empousa who herself is highly unremarkable, if even being building level. The whole verse needs some massive revision, with feats that can be calculated and accepted as something they can regularly reproduce. Putting Piper - Piper, who is basically a regular human with a super voice - at 6c, above some characters from other verses who could quite clearly one-shot her (FT has a fuckton of 7Bs that are more impressive than any demigod, save maybe Nico DiAngelo, since his strength remains loosely defined.)
The demigods would probably go as far as low-7B, but not higher. This isn't a calc, just an estimation, given how easily some shit knocks them out. (A falling brick knocked Jason out. That ain't island level durability. They're just slightly above normal people when it comes to that. Everything else is usually gods messing with them (Hera guiding Percy's arrow into Geryon's hearts in TBOTL is proof that they regularly mess with them. Even Aphrodite admits to tampering.) The outliers can be described as unconfirmed divine interference at best, but they aren't things the demigods themselves can actually do. (Percy's water usage didn't even sink a fort in The Son of Neptune. It simply did some damage to it, and that was WITH the curse of Achilles, which is stated to be above his 6C self here. Definitely not.)
I saw someone say to make a revision request in the discussion of Annabeth's sky-lifting feat, so here ya go. Series is still alive, and might be subject to future change, but that just doesn't seem all that likely. They've been solidly consistent for over 5 books, with very few power-ups, and their best feats as outliers.
