Lex immediately scrapped all his plans. Finding Belle, saving Fenrir, rescuing Giselle, going on a date…
None of that was on the immediate agenda anymore because his first priority was ensuring that the Midnight realm didn't get swallowed up by the universe. Fortunately, his real body was still inside the Midnight Inn so he wouldn't need to waste any time moving.
The fact that his Primordial aura had empowered his projection to not only be able to talk, but fight and kill everyone who had captured Z was quite convenient. In truth, the fact that he could kill them all with his projection alone was another reason Lex was sure that there was some kind of conspiracy afoot.
He would also check out Z's body and soul once he returned to the Inn to be safe. But before any of that, he had to make sure that the realm could survive.
