After listening to Lex's savage words, and witnessing his immeasurable strength, the Celestials became completely desperate. They brought out all of their contingency weapons and tools - not to attack him, but to run away.
These tools were extremely powerful, one time use items which is why they had been preserved for moments exactly such as these.
There was no forewarning, so as the Celestials suddenly burst through his protective barriers and zoomed off into the distance, Lex was just left standing there, watching. The funny thing was that one of the Celestials actually used one of the golden keys of the Midnight Inn to escape!
Even the Gorilla, who had previously been firmly caught within Lex's grip, managed to escape using even more desperate means, sacrificing a large chunk of his cultivation.
After only a few seconds, Lex was left there, alone.
