Fanfic / What Was Created By God

Go To

What was Created by God is a crossover fanfic between Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Fate/Grand Order, written on Spacebattles by WyverNine.

In which Percy doesn't merely trigger a volcanic eruption, he also gets displaced in a Lostbelt. Now, he has to learn where he is, how to make his powers normally work again, and find a way to go back to Camp before Luke manages to invade.

Oh, and maybe learn why all these weird people are running around these strange islands, what's wrong with the gods and why everything is trying to kill him for a change. That's important too.

Contains the following tropes

  • Absurdly Sharp Blade: Riptide. Especially when swung with enough power behind it. Just ask the cyborg Manticore or the part of the island Percy sliced off while boosted by Lostbelt Poseidon.
  • The Ace: Percy outright acknowledges Odysseus as one of the very best heroes in Ancient Greece, as this mere mortal achieved something so many demigods failed to have — he made it home, no matter the obstacles thrown in his path.
  • Alternate History: The Atlantic Lostbelt. A timeline that diverged from the course of Proper Human History around 14.000 years in the past as a result of the Machine Gods keeping their original bodies. Zigzagged in that we aren't sure if Percy's timeline is connected to it in anyway, though the compatibility between Demigods and the divine technology of Atlantis seems to hint that it might be the case, making Percy's timeline another case of Alternate History in the crossover..
  • Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: The Hippocampus that attacks the ship Percy, Odysseus, and Drake were sailing was said to be much larger than the ones Percy is familiar with, such as Rainbow, Tyson's friend.
  • Big Damn Heroes:
    • Odysseus intervenes to help Percy to fight the Atlasian Manticore.
    • Hector rescuing Annabeth from three Calydonian Boars surrounding her.
  • Book Dumb: Percy quickly starts yawning when Calypso takes him and Oddysseus on a museum tour, and is completely unable to understand the Techno Babble of the Lostbelt.
  • Brought Down to Badass: Because the Divine Corpus Network has no records of Percy, it prevents him from accessing his most powerful abilities. Percy being a Person of Mass Destruction, he's still able to defend himself.
  • Distracted by the Sexy: Percy can't help but stare at Ushiwakamaru's revealing outfit.
  • Divine Intervention:
    • A minor example. While Poseidon doesn't personally come to Percy's aid, both the Lostbelt and Riordanverse versions have answered his requests for help. The former against the Atlasian Manticore, and the latter against the mecha Hippocampus that abducted Percy.
    • When Percy and Asterios are running from Minotaur and are blocked by a locked gate that needs a combination, Percy inadvertently contacts Lostbelt Hephaestus who opens the gate.
  • Entertainingly Wrong: Odysseus is rather amused when Percy wonders if he's a demigod son of Athena, since he only caught the goddess' interest. And no, it doesn't mean that way.
  • Everybody Loves Zeus: Referred to as Zeus Almighty and other such titles by the inhabitants of Atlantis, it's clear that the Big Guy is respected, feared, and revered. Those who are familiar with Lostbelt Zeus however, will know that this is far from a good thing.
  • Fatal Flaw: Odysseus has troubles with communication. And keeping all your cards close to your chest tends to be a bad idea when traveling with a reckless, hopelessly impulsive teen.
  • Geeky Turn-On: More than once, Percy and Annabeth picture Cabin 9 — Hephaestus' children — drooling over the impossibly advanced technology they see in the Lostbelt.
  • Got Me Doing It: After Asterios and Minotaur repeatedly called him Theseus, Percy calls himself Theseus by reflex when someone asks him to identify himself. He immediately complains.
  • Guile Hero:
    • Annabeth is able to intuit how to invoke Blessings and their time limits with nothing but observation and a few questions and predicts Medusa's attack patterns without a hitch.
    • Odysseus, of course. The guy flawlessly lies to Calypso that he's an emissary to the Gods in spite of having no idea whatsoever of the current geopolitical situation in Atlantis.
  • Hearing Voices: As demigods, Annabeth and Percy are instinctively connected to the Divine Corpus Network.
  • Heroic Self-Deprecation: Odysseus is a Rider, but he does not have his ship or crew as Noble Phantasms. Remembering how he lost all his crew and got his ship destroyed during his voyage home, he starts thinking it is a penalty for being an unworthy captain.
  • Hero of Another Story: Beyond Annabeth and Percy's adventures, several Servants are running all around the Lostbelt and trying to understand how they are supposed to fix it. And of course, Percy's dreams show Chaldea recovering from the planet's bleaching.
  • How Is That Even Possible?: Annabeth has no idea what a Servant is, so she is utterly baffled that Hector, whom she senses is not a demigod, demonstrates incredible feats of strength and speed and can kill monsters with his spear even though it is not made of celestial bronze.
  • Irony: So far, all of the Servants met by Percy and Annabeth have had some negative relationship with their godly parent.
    • Odysseus was a favored hero of Athena who was harassed by Poseidon for ten years during the Odyssey.
    • Sir Francis Drake slew Poseidon in Okeanos and stole the heart of the Machine God Poseidon in the canonical version of Atlantis.
    • Medusa was cursed by Athena to turn into her monstrous self.
    • Hector fought against the Achaeans, who were aided by Athena.
    • Asterios was the son of one of Poseidon's sacred bulls and was slain by Theseus, another son of Poseidon.
  • Let's You and Him Fight:
    • Villagers ask Percy to rid their village of a monster. He finds Asterios and attacks him. It turns out Asterios was trying to protect people from the real monster, his Alternate Self Minotaur. Percy even comments it is like a movie where two heroes fight over a misunderstanding.
    • Ushiwakamaru attacks Percy for bring Asterios, a monster, to her hideout.
  • Like Father, Like Son: Odysseus comments on Percy sharing Poseidon's fierce temper.
  • Locked Out of the Loop: Percy and Annabeth appear in Atlantis with no clue what a Servant is, nor any idea that they're in an Alternate History where the Gods have turned evil. When Percy first learns Odysseus's name, he assumes Odysseus was just named after the hero.
  • Machine Worship: The original forms of the Olympians in the Nasuverse were that of spacefaring alien ships which were worshipped and given divine status. While in Proper Human History they eventually lost their bodies and become Divine Spirits, in the Lostbelt their bodies still exist. Thus, the locals worship them in their original forms. Bonus points local Temples being either research stations or made with futuristic god-tech.
  • Manipulative Bastard: Odysseus feels no qualms lying to Calypso and using her to get ressources and a ship in order to leave Atlasia. Percy's opinion of him is negatively impacted as a consequence.
  • Mistaken Identity: Percy assumes at first that Asterios is the Minotaur he fought in his first adventure. In turn, both Asterios and Minotaur think he is Theseus because they have similar scents.
  • Mythology Gag: Both Odysseus and Percy getting stranded on an island and meeting Calypso.
  • Oh, Crap!: Percy when he learns there's something wrong with the gods in the Lostbelt, so him calling for Poseidon's help is actually a major threat. An hippocampos assaults the ship immediately after that.
  • One-Steve Limit: Zigzagged. Percy first believes that Calypso and Odysseus are not the mythological figures before realizing they actually are, but there's hints that the Riordanverse and the Fate series are different timelines so it's possible for variants to exist. It's a plain aversion when Percy declares he's not the same as Perseus, son of Zeus — even if he also killed Medusa.
  • Outside-Context Problem: Because the Machine Gods never laid with humans to produce demigods in Wodime's Lostbelt, Annabeth and Percy have the potential to grow into a huge problem. Odysseus also points it should be impossible for a demigod to be born in the modern era, yet Percy is alive — which can be explain by him originating from another timeline.
  • Papa Wolf: Riordanverse Poseidon actually reaches beyond spacetime (and possibly beyond Proper Human History's bleaching) to prevent his favourite demigod child being forcibly put on stasis, dragged to Atlantis and converted in a brainwashed slave or "dismantled". Even if it only means overriding an hippocampos' system, it still takes massive effort.
  • Poke in the Third Eye: Edmond Dantes is not happy to find Percy dreamwalking around the Shadow Border and forces him to wake up.
  • Poor Communication Kills: Odysseus strongly suspected something was very wrong with the gods in the Lostbelt, but was so rattled by the implications that he kept the information for himself. Since Percy was given no reason to believe it might be dangerous to call his father for help, he prays for Poseidon to help him — his prayer reaches the Lostbelt's Poseidon, and cue an hippocampos dropping right on Odysseus, Percy and Drake.
  • Pop-Cultured Badass: Percy adores Odysseus' Powered Armour because it makes the Servant look like a Power Ranger.
  • Properly Paranoid: Odysseus keeps his helmet because he doesn't want for people to identify him and refuses to eat Calypso's offered meal until he's reassured it's safe and he's not going to explode or turn into a pig. Considering his past adventures...
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Pala the healer and the Elder in the village found by Annabeth are this, since they insist for the girl to properly rest instead of running after Medusa or explore the temple, and are incredulous when she tries to brush two murder attempts off as nothing. Annabeth is rather distressed and baffled by them as a consequence, having more experience with Adults Are Useless.
  • Robot Girl: Calypso is Atlasia's mechanical guardian and tour guide.
  • Sheep in Sheep's Clothing: Percy is wary of Odysseus for his shameless manipulation of Calypso and his secretive nature, wondering if the Rider is going to pull a Luke on him. However, this version of Odysseus is the Proper Human History one and as such a genuine Hero who genuinely wants to fix the Lostbelt situation.
  • Significant Wardrobe Shift: After getting stranded in the Lostbelt, Annabeth and Percy receive the same kind of robes worn by the natives to don. Unfortunately for Percy, a toga has no pockets and he loses Riptide as a consequence.
  • Sins of Our Fathers:
    • Odysseus gets a smidge tense around Percy when he learns the teen has been sired by the god who harassed him for a decade.
    • Medusa immediately assaults Annabeth when they meet, believing the blonde is her mother Athena. Annabeth muses that explaining the mistake likely wouldn't help at all, since Greek monsters and deities really enjoy Revenge by Proxy.
  • There Is Another: Percy isn't the only Riordanverse native who gets stranded in the Lostbelt, Annabeth got there too.
  • Trauma Button: Strongly hinted with Odysseus' stiffness around Calypso, Percy commenting on the Servant looking ready to bolt — as Proper Human History Calypso kept Odysseus imprisoned on her island because she wanted to take him as her consort, it's understandable for him to not be very fond of her.
  • Trapped in Another World: Percy and Annabeth are stuck in the Atlantis Lostbelt, in which everything follows rules very different from their native timeline.
  • Would Hurt a Child:
    • In order to steal the ship provided by Calypso, Drake takes Percy as her hostage and threatens to shoot him.
    • Medusa doesn't care about Annabeth being only fifteen years old — the girl smells like Athena, she has to die.
  • You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: The consequences for failure in Atlantis. Mentioned by the members of the Okeanos Poseidonis. The Lostbelt version of Jason also mentions preferring death over being replaced. Probably because it would involve this trope.
  • You Remind Me of X: Percy's recklessness reminds Odysseus of Achilles.
