After coming out of the portal, the group arrived at a strange place before they look up at a man on a floating chair descending above them.

Hyuga: Are you Maxwell?

Maxwell: Indeed. I am Maxwell, Lord of the Spirits.
I never thought humans would reach this place.

Hyuga: We've come a long way to ask you something. We want you to tell us about Milla.

Maxwell: Hmm?

Leia: We heard that you used Milla as bait.

Elize: Can you tell us why?

Maxwell: I see. You must have been her companions.

Hyuga: Yes, we traveled together. She taught me to think about many things. What I must do, and then she died. That's when I finally realized what I should do, what I have to do!

Maxwell: And what is that?

Hyuga draws his katana and points it at Maxwell.

Hyuga: Destroy the schism. It's the only way to save both Rieze Maxia and Elympios.

Maxwell: Fool! The outside is overflowing with spyrixes! Do you wish to destroy all of Rieze Maxia?! Her reason for choosing death had eluded me until now. But now I am certain; You lot tempted Milla away from her mission! It is because of you, she took such foolhardy actions!
And now, you plan to dispel the schism and bring about the end of the world!

Jude: Maxwell, please listen!

Maxwell: Bane of my creation, begone from my world!

Hyuga: I won't let it happen!

Everyone drew their weapons and attacked Maxwell, who is powerful than all of them combined even when they used their Linked Artes. Maxwell then stopped time and used Sunburst, dropping the group into their knees.

Hyuga: Grr....

Maxwell: Now do you understand the difference between me and you foolish mortals!

Hyuga: Not yet...

Maxwell: Hmm....

Hyuga slowly rises up on his feet while the others watched him.

Leia: Hyuga...

Hyuga: I can still...

Hyuga drops into his knees in pain, which made Maxwell laugh.

Maxwell: Do you even understand what you are doing? You are risking your lives to bring back a fake!

The group is shocked from what Maxwell said before Hyuga clenched his fist on the ground.

Hyuga: What did you just call her....?!

Maxwell stops laughing and is shocked to see Hyuga rising on his feet.

Hyuga: Even if you're the Lord of Spirits or whoever, calling her a fake.... will cost you your own head!
