How are Gods scaling from Hermes in speed, who btw is only at MHS+ speed using his shoes.

Well, if anyone can actually bring proof that Hermes infact has MHS+ speeds then I will gladly accept it. The calcs that were done for his speed makes no sense and it is stupid that it was accepted.

Real Hermes>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Fake Shoes
Apollo is faster than Hermes.
Hermes not being MHS+ actually is "Writers Don't Know Math".
You said it yourself that Percy and Annabeth took days searching a way out in Tartarus, so it's likely it's even more than 70 000 km.
Matthew Schroeder also mentioned that Athena should be 1.1 times the speed of light, for the Athena Parthenos can fire ultraviolet energy beams. The statue is powered by a fraction of Athena's power. Same with Hermes's shoes, especially they are fake.

That makes no sense. If they took days searching for the doors to escape then they cant have escaped through the whole of Tartarus in one minute. Dude have you even read the booksk because your argumentn is making no sense. They found the doors and were ready to escape to the elevators that leads them outside when they opened. It did not take them one minute to cross from one end of Tartarus to the other.
- 11,095

Um...who took 1 minute to cross from one end to Tartarus to the other? Hermes's shoes did. Did you even read the calc?

Big Three are the most powerful of all Gods, and are superior to Apollo and Hermes.
They took days searching for the doors. They never escaped through the whole of Tartarus in one minute. It's only Hermes's shoes flying through the pit in 1 minute. Your argument is making no sense.

I read it and there is no evidence the Tartarus is 70km is length only in height. Infact they ran to a special elevator that was meant to ride them to the top. Did you read the calc, all I can say is that it was really bad and I want it revised.Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan said:

Um...what? The calc is not about two teenagers riding up an elevator. The calc is Hermes's shoes flying across the pit.

And if they are flying acroos the pit they are not flying up the pit which is actually(pprobably) what is 70km long. Not the diameter of the pit. Which btw they did not actually run across the pit.Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan said:

Um...no one ran across the pit. Hermes's sandals did. Grover's hooves slipped out, and Kronos gets empty shoes, to his disgust. Did you read the book? I'm confused, no offence.

You literally just said the shoes flew across the pit. And I just said we do not know the size of the pit. Can you tell me the size of the pit because it is def not 70km.Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan said:

I just reread the book.
The tunnel widened into a huge dark cavern, and in the middle was a chasm the size of a city block. Grover was sliding straight toward the edge. "Come on, Percy!" Annabeth yelled, tugging at my wrist."
Yup, so the sandals went down Tartarus. The height of Tartarus can be used.

I made a mistake, yeah right. But not what you claim. The shoes indeed went down Tartarus.

Dude, I just reread that whole section and absolutely nothing suggests that the boots actually hit the bottom of Tartarus.
- 11,095

So you think Kronos was there suspended in mid-air?
The bits left of Kronos is clearly at the bottom of Tartarus, like where the other Titans are.

No I think that Kronos sensed them near the pit, after all Kronos is not dead.Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan said:

Al we know is that it flew down the pit. Is it even the same pit that they fell down? And even if it was this was 8 books away, I am 100% sure that Riordan forgot minor things like this.
- 11,095
- 4,317
That's the height of Tartarus. You suggesting Tartarus can grow and shrink in size?
Kronos is at the bottom, it's pretty certain. He is sliced into bits. He can't fly up or whatever you're thinking.

Literally right before the boots fell down the pit, they are struggling to move a few meters at a time at anything above human speed(Percy and Annabeth can catch up.

I know he cant fly up. I am suggesting that the tunnel in Lightning thief and the one in Hades House are 2 different tunnels.Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan said:

Percy and Annabeth are Mach 81. And there is this thing called acceleration.

Right mach 81 from a calc where the person deflecting lightning knows exactly where it will strike because he is controlling it. Either way, that is not close to Mach 3000. And also you still have not answered about there being different pits. Which I am sure they are.Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan said:

Jason can't control his opponents lightning...he's not Zeus...
The boots need to accelerate.
Different pits? There is only one Tartarus. 70 000 km is the height.

One Tartarus does not mean only one pit. And again he could have sense the boots falling into Tartarus. Sorry man but nothing about this convinces me that the Gods are close to MHS+ speeds. Or even Mach 81. For God's sakes in the same book Percy is remarking that it will take him forever to get half a mile away from a location.Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan said:

Not if they contradict each other in the story. Nothing before the 9 days of falling even possibly suggested MHS+ feats in Percy Jackson. We have a word for this called outlier or PIS.Yobobojojo said:

Which also coincides with outliers. Also the fact the Lightning thief was written literally years before The House of Hades.Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan said:

Okay where else has it happened please tell me. Where else have they moved at MHS+ speeds. Because the only ppl I can vouch to do anything like that are the Centaurs, using teleportation.Yobobojojo said:
