Pyrrhon: Difference between revisions

'''Pyrrhon''', known in Japan as '''Lars, the Sun God''' (太陽神ラーズ, Taiyō-shin rāzu), is a major character in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. He is the (possible) god of the sun, and assists [[Pit]] in fighting off an alien invasion. He appears during the [[Aurum]] arc of the main story (''[[Mysterious Invaders]]'', ''[[The Aurum Hive]]'', and ''[[The Aurum Brain]]'') as an ally in the former two and a brainwashed antagonist in the latter. His primary method of offense is his ability to manipulate fire and use it to attack enemies and his ability to fly fast. He is depicted as a strong head superhero-like character with a large ego and surprising intelligence, although the latter two traits do conflict with each other sometimes when Pyrrhon talks. He is arguably the worst ally in the game, as his efforts to help take down the arum generator result in it becoming more powerful, and the fact that he ultimately betrays the others to be more powerful himself.

In the [[The Aurum Brain|last chapter of the Aurum invasion]], Pyrrhon joins Pit and the other gods in the final battle to get rid of the aliens once and for all. He leads the angel into the [[Aurum Brain Fortress]] where the [[Aurum Brain]] resides and tells him to shoot at it. As Pit opens fire at the Brain, Pyrrhon suddenly then merges with it by entering the yellowish core. This action causes a destructive explosion, but Pit quickly manages to escape in time. Pyrrhon then appears as a large astral projection in front of Pit, and reveals he has been using the angel the entire time to take control of the Aurum in order to become a "Level Infinity Epic Super God...Plus!" and control the Aurum fleet to raise his rank as a deity. Pyrrhon's control causes the Aurum troops to change color into a bright red and become even more powerful. However, the Aurum Brain corrupts him and takes control of him instead and uses his powers to destroy Pit by interfering Palutena's ability to extract Pit when the [[Power of Flight]] was running out. As Pit continues his assault on the Aurum, Pyrrhon again attempts to get rid of him again by firing a powerful blast of fire, but the angel is luckily protected by the [[Forces of Nature]] blocking the attack for him. Once finally Pit reaches the Aurum Brain again, he discovers that Pyrrhon's mind has been completely consumed by the Aurum Brain itself, becoming [[Aurum Pyrrhon]], which turns him into an emotionless and robot-like entity that can only speak in gibberish and binary. Pyrrhon then begins to viciously attack Pit and threatens to destroy the planet. After Pit defeats the brainwashed Pyrrhon, he returns to his senses and sends out a huge pillar of fire that launches the remaining Aurum back into space towards the other side of the galaxy, ending the Aurum threat once and for all; however, Pyrrhon's fate afterwards remains unknown. This action however was commented on by [[Viridi]], with her saying, "He finally does something useful."
