~ Pit with the Three Sacred Treasures

The Great Sacred Treasure was designed by Dyntos to be the ultimate weapon. Used in the final battle against Hades, the weapon is huge and incredibly powerful, yet can stop on a dime and change its form to adapt to damage.

Background
Pit (ピット) is the main character and protagonist of Kid Icarus. He is Palutena's most loyal servant and leader of her royal bodyguard, the Icarus army. During the first game, Palutena was locked away in Skyworld temple by Medusa during a war between the Underworld army and the Icarus army, which resulted in an easy victory for the Underworld due to a surprise attack, leaving Pit the last remaining angel and the only one capable of saving Palutena by retrieving the Three Sacred Treasures. After successfully acquiring them, Pit defeats Medusa and saves Palutena, returning peace to Angel Land.
Some time after the war between the two goddesses, Palutena has a horrid dream of demonic beings known as the Orcos that plan to bring chaos to Angel Land. After learning of this, Palutena tasks Pit to traverse through the Underworld, Overworld, and Skyworld to once again earn the power of the Three Sacred Treasures to become Amazing Pit and defeat the ominous Orcos for good.
Roughly twenty-five years later, the events of the most recent title, Kid Icarus Uprising, lead to another war between Palutena and Medusa, which reveals the true master of the Underworld and his plans to turn the souls of all living things into an undead army of Underworld troops. This leads to many events during the war, such as an alien invasion in which all gods must come together to fight them off, the Chaos Kin's espace which leads to a three-year time skip, the creation of Dark Pit from the Mirror of Truth's destruction, and even Pit receiving his most powerful weapon, the Great Sacred Treasure, which he uses to defeat Hades, end the war, and bring peace to the universe for supposedly another twenty-five years until Hades returns.

Note: Due to Sakurai being the prime developer for both Kid Icarus Uprising and Super Smash Bros., we can take Pit and co's abilities and dialogue as a secondary canon for Kid Icarus's lore since Palutena's guidance stays relative to Kid Icarus's story and even further fleshed it out.
