Maris corrects Faunaria that it is the perfect coordinates. Maris says that the mountain they landed on is the Royal Biblia Academy, Faunaria comments that the Great Demon King has already been beaten. But Maris informs her that the place they are in is just full of mountains. Faunaria gets angry at her calling her 'Muki'. Maris points out her finger at a far building, telling Faunaria by going straight there it's perfect. Faunaria has her doubts that if it's a lie or not, Maris says she has never lied to anyone ever since she was born. They are then approached by Master Liber and Lugh, then Maris states that Master Liber has finished her role of not being a child of god. Master Liber quires why did they come, to which Maris answers by the resurrection of the goddess reduce the Great Demon King, that of which their common understanding. Master Liber informs the duo that the Great Demon King has already acquired the Black Emperor Flame World. As well all they have to do is wait for their loss. However Faunaria intercepts her that she thought that I'd be faster this way. Asking if there is a plan, Master Liber answers it will be the same in the end, so it's fine. Master Liber furthermore continues that Jaga which is an anti-demon king weapon made by the concubine after Arata's fight with Hijri. She says that she entwined the Demon King in the best condition. Master Liber tells them to take some time now. Faunaria is not interested, even if the Great Demon King is destroyed. Faunaria proceeds to insults to Arata that he's just a mage who doesn't have the blood of the Great Demon Lord who was born in a world of thieves, since he is amount to a disposable things like a piece of paper, and she with the other Arbitrators have nothing to worry about. Maris questions Master Liber if she and the Great Demon King had feelings for her. Angered, Lugh draws her katana mentioning that they won't be defeated easily. telling them to refrain that her best friend is disposable like a piece of paper. Maris asks her if Lugh is giving them opinion like a god born in a toy, and points out that Master Liber 'pet' animal isn't disciplined. Master Liber then destroys a portion of the vast land with her magic power. Maris asks if she has gone crazy, then Master Liber along with Lugh prepare to fight them.

Faunaria mentions that this is a preparatory movement in front of the Great Demon King. Maris instructs Faunaria to finish the fight in 10 minutes. Faunaria tells her that it doesn't matter much. After both Master Liber and Lugh get ready, connecting to their archive forming a magic circle formula. Maris notes that the archive connection on the ground consumes less magical power than the holy mark connection. Faunaria mentions it is similar to endurance but there is a risk that it is possible to fall down all at once so it doesn't make sense. Maris advices Faunaria that Master Liber is the Arbitrator leader class "Archbishop" Tome, as well as not understand the skillful wisdom. Maris then watch the battle between Faunaria and Lugh. After a while Faunaria notices, that she had used her hand, Maris informs her she can avoid it little by little, amusing Faunaria. As the fight goes on, and Faunaria keeps dominating Lugh, who is unable to do anything. Maris activates her eye as it turned into calculation circles, she figures out that they are avoiding fatal injuries due to their well-honed intuition, with a lot of experience informing Faunaria. Faunaria finds it a sly thing that Maris is teaching her. But thanks to Maris advice, Faunaria uses other techniques while Lugh is struggling to dodge. Master Liber intervenes with the last second as Lugh was about to be defeated. Maris then consider herself to fight since Master Liber has used her Evil God Army, she tells Faunaria that she feels like an hour passed. However Faunaria finds it a lie, but Maris says that she has never lied to her. To destroy Master Liber Evil God Army, Faunaria resorts to use her Thema connecting it to her Archive, release powerful thunder strikes that obliterate half the ground. Maris comments that it was a perfect score if she was concerned about being there, yet Faunaria says it's not good because no one can apply to Maris magic. Maris says, acting afraid, mentioning physical attacks can be done, so if the thread hits she was about to hit it back. They then approach the injured Master Liber on the floor, complementing Faunaria for being the Arbitrator of light. After Faunaria tells her to apologize. She refuses and then Master Liber transforms into her Adult Form, as Maris and Faunaria witness it. Maris comments that this is the horror of the true appearance of Prince Liber.

Maris tries analyzing it with her eye but she get's no result much to her dismay. The enhanced Evil God Army overpower Faunaria, Maris tells her she forgot to tell her that Faunaria light and thunder attacks won't work against her anymore. Faunaria screams at Maris that she should've told her sooner. After Faunaria was attacked by her Evil God Army, she manages to escape and glances at Maris, Maris doesn't say anything. After a while between her clash with Faunaria, Master Liber breaks the seal of an Arbitrator, powering up Lugh. Maris quires Master Liber that she did raise the god man to the level of an Arbitrator. Master Liber answering that it only lasts for 10 seconds. Later Master Liber uses one of her Holy magic spells. Maris analyzes it with her eyes, wondering if it's a technique to reduce the number of people who belong to heaven. After a while, Maris raises white flag surrendering. Maris then apologizes for insulting Hijri and tells Faunaria to apologize, to which she does. Master Liber accepts it, and she reverts back to her original size mentioning her Adult Form has it's limit.

Maris mentions that Master Liber said the successor to the Great Demon King will continue to decrease. Master Liber informs her about the inner world of the Black Emperor Flame World that of which evens out all it's heavens and demons, and if he touches the world, he will be able to continue to burn his body and soul forever in the future. As well as the remaining mages must protect the world.

Faunaria says she's never been interested in men, Maris jokes around that she's curious about women, Faunaria flusters saying she doesn't even have such a hobby. Aries is envious how good friends are Maris and Faunaria. They tell her that she is also a friend, but Maris points out that she and Faunaria aren't friends. Faunaria takes this as another lie. An Arbitrator Messenger arrive and informs the trio that the Arbitrator leader has called for an emergency call. Faunaria, quires what is it, the Messengers says one of the Arbitrators who has been away from heaven for a long time has returned.

In Arbitrator Headquarters, as Master Biblia returned, whom they are all welcoming him back. Maris mentions it seems to be fun as usual. She then silently watches Faunaria.

Maris obeys and she summons a sphere projecting images, starting by that the World Tree Maiden barrier to god Induction completed in the Twilight Library, and one of the pillars of Nornil Giants, the destruction of Versand has appeared in their dimension. Faunaria then questions if it's strong, Maris gives her a straight answer, that if she even mess up, she can't beat one pillar with her current strength. Faunaria insists on beating one though. Harukage notes that the number of powerful human resources has disappeared during the Great Magic War. She furthermore states that there was a consulation for cooperation regarding the shortage of human resources in heaven, asking Aetheria if it's possible to connect it. Aetheria only has bad feeling about it but will listen anyway. Harukage then with a happy look glances at Maris whom she sighs. Just then Deus Trinity appears from Maris projection sphere.

After a long talk between Aetheria and Deus Trinity whom he offers to help them, using Maris projection sphere, all the Arbitrator witness his power by destroying one of Nornil Giant Pillars with ease. Finally Aetheria orders all the Arbitrators to start moving to the Twilight Library, as well as mentioning that the heavens will also do their best to subdue the remaining pillars of Nornil Giants.

While Faunaria finds it one of her lies. Aries interrupts them that they shall departure and all three descend to the earthly world.

Arbitrator abilities
Maris is the Arbitrator of Wisdom or knowledge which is very convenient, her Archive nor Thema's is yet to be shown. She doesn't fight and only watch but she has stated she can if she wanted.
 * Wisdom - Maris knows every spell used, how powerful they are, the original Thema as well as how they are used, from where they were first used, or if they are used before, and how the result will turn out to be. Basically she knows all spells in the world.


 * Knowledge - Maris can change her eye pattern to visualize the result of the spell for example. This only take few seconds to analyze the situation. Since she doesn't fight, she only give advises for her companions.
 * Projection Sphere - Maris is capable of summoning a sphere that shows an event she chooses to, such as events that happened a long time ago for example the Great Magic War. The sphere explains the exact details. However everything is shown is when she saw the events herself and reordered it, or by using her vast knowledge as a source. The sphere orb also shows what is happening in the outside world, no matter where.

No magic can affect Maris, since she has conceptual mechanism (idea frame), which has the absolute defense performance that "every magic never hits". However, since pure physical phenomena are not subject to defense, it seems that indirect attacks such as the thread of light of Faunaria that manipulate and guide physical phenomena by magic will work.

Maris is the Arbitrator of Beauty. This reflects on her looks and physical appearance.

Aries Cardia - They were good friends ever since long times in Heavens. Maris along with Faunaria enjoy being with each other.
