As a goddess, Viridi is immortal and possesses unimaginable power over nature. She can manipulate plant life and create countless new lifeforms out of natural materials to fight for her. She can also create weapons out of plant life, such as her most powerful weapon, the [[Reset Bomb]] which can easily annihilate anything in its path like a meteor and grow forests wherever it lands. She can also use some of the spells known by Palutena such as the [[Power of Flight]] and use it on Pit or the ability to teleport Pit out of dangerous situations. According to Phosphora, Viridi is also capable of reading fortunes, which could also mean she may have the ability to predict the future. In Chapter 19, Viridi showcases the ability to create hot springs. Like all the other gods she can communicate telepathically with others to relay information and astral project herself as a giant figure. | As a goddess, Viridi is immortal and possesses unimaginable power over nature.

Soon after, a twisted forest of thorns arise from the destroyed area and Palutena orders Pit to explore it in case any humans survived. Throughout their trek in the forest, they encounter Viridi's army, the Forces of Nature. Meanwhile, Palutena tries to reason with Viridi to no avail, as her beliefs are deeply cemented that humans are evil beings who mistreat and take advantage of nature. Seeing no other choice, Pit heads to the forest's center where he comes face to face with its stone guardian, [[Cragalanche]]. Despite it being a tough battle, Pit comes out victorious, but Viridi remains calm and mockingly asks the angel on where she should dispatch her next Reset Bomb. | ||
In [[Wrath of the Reset Bomb|Chapter 12]], Pit and Palutena witness Viridi's army in conflict with [[Hades]]'s and they hear Viridi's protests about the [[Underworld Army]] being worse than humans. Viridi then launches another Reset Bomb at a nearby town full of humans and Pit quickly takes action to defuse the bomb and luckily succeeds. Pit then discovers Viridi's [[Reset Bomb Depot]], where she creates all her Reset Bombs and he heads in to shut it down. Viridi continues to send out countless soldiers to defeat Pit but to no avail and he soon makes it to the Depot's core where the [[Reset Bomb Pod|pod]] that grows the Reset Bombs lies. Pit then makes quick work of it and the [[Forces of Nature Guard|guards]], causing the Depot to explode and fall apart. A furious Viridi then appears and tells Pit that he's made it on her "to-kill list". | In [[Wrath of the Reset Bomb|Chapter 12]], Pit and Palutena witness Viridi's army in conflict with [[Hades]]'s and they hear Viridi's protests about the [[Underworld Army]] being worse than humans.

At [[Chapter 14]], Viridi and her Forces of Nature engage in an intense battle against the Underworld forces with her commander, [[Lightning Flash Phosphora]] go against the revived [[Thanatos]]. With the commanders locked in battle Pit follows the two opposing forces so as to take down the remaining commander once one wins. During the chapter, Viridi is mostly absent. She later observes the exciting and fast-paced boss fight between Pit and Phosphora, but the lightning warrior quickly falls to the angel. This causes the nature goddess to become frustrated due to the fact that one of her best commanders lost to the enemy. | At [[Chapter 14]], Viridi and her Forces of Nature engage in an intense battle against the Underworld forces with her commander, [[Lightning Flash Phosphora]] go against the revived [[Thanatos]].

Throughout the Aurum arc of the story, Viridi notably begins to warm up towards Pit. One notable moment in [[Chapter 16]], where she helps the angel by lending out some of her soldiers, and Palutena even comments on how Viridi appears to have a soft spot for Pit; however, Viridi aggressively denies this. In [[Chapter 17]] after [[Pyrrhon]] merges with the [[Aurum Brain]], she attempts to take him down by using her final Reset Bomb, but unfortunately this has very little effect. Viridi helps Pit again after his [[Power of Flight]] runs out by sending a platform carried by her troops to guide the angel to the sun god. However, Pyrrhon manages to destroy all the [[Nutski]]s carrying the platform later on. After Pyrrhon is defeated and sends the Aurum Brain to the other end of the galaxy, the nature goddess states that "he finally does something useful." | ||

The two observe the now-evil Palutena as she begins to attack her own servant. The powerful force field surrounding the goddess of light's temple prevents Pit from entering, leaving Viridi no choice but to retreat the angel to her own sanctuary. | ||
In [[Chapter 19]], Viridi takes Pit to the [[Lightning Chariot Base]] in order to fetch the legendary [[Lightning Chariot]] to pierce through Palutena's force field. Upon reaching the tower, Viridi quickly becomes annoyed from Hades troops and Pit's constant whining regarding if they're at the top of the building yet. Once Pit reaches the [[Chariot Master]] and defeats him in a duel, Viridi states that "he was an honorable warrior" and to not "let his death be in vain." | In [[Chapter 19]], Viridi takes Pit to the [[Lightning Chariot Base]] in order to fetch the legendary [[Lightning Chariot]] to pierce through Palutena's force field.

After Pit penetrates the force field surrounding [[Palutena's Temple]] in [[Chapter 20]], Viridi explains to Pit about the [[Chaos Kin]] and how it was originally a prisoner in [[Arlon]]'s [[Lunar Sanctum]], which was disposed by Pit three years ago.

She believes the demonic entity is the one controlling Palutena and it must be stopped before it eats her soul. Pit manages to defeat the Chaos Kin, but it fools the angel by playing dead then unexpectedly gets up and quickly rips Palutena's soul from her body and creates a portal leading to the [[Chaos Vortex]]. Viridi immediately grants him the Power of Flight, but Pit is unable to go through the portal as it begins to shrink. Fortunately, [[Dark Pit]] suddenly arrives by charging through with the Lightning Chariot, making the gateway to the vortex large enough to go through. | ||
Viridi guides Pit through the disorienting realm of the Chaos Kin in [[The Chaos Vortex (chapter)|Chapter 21]]. She eventually manages to find the real Chaos Kin as it quickly tries to escape. Pit shoots the creature down, forcing him to face an "endurance contest" between him and the monster. After Pit and Dark Pit defeat the monster, Palutena's soul is returned, but the remaining ashes of the Chaos Kin grab the dark angel, forcing Pit to jump down into the vortex after him. Pit begs Viridi to reactivate the Power of Flight, but Viridi is unwilling to do so as it will burn up his wings. With time running out to rescue Dark Pit, Viridi eventually gives in and allows Pit to fly, but this action does cost his wings. | Viridi guides Pit through the disorienting realm of the Chaos Kin in [[The Chaos Vortex (chapter)|Chapter 21]].

The trio discover Hades's true startling intentions, leaving Viridi horrified as human souls have been used to create the Underworld monsters the entire time. | ||
Viridi joins Pit's final battle with Hades in [[Chapter 25]], where she first simply observes the fight, but later provides the angel with the Power of Flight when the [[Great Sacred Treasure]] is destroyed.
