Outside the Deadlock Dimension...
Big Mike and the Celestials Patriarch were locked in a staring contest.
At first, Big Mike had run his mouth nonstop, infuriating the Celestials Patriarch. Eventually, the Patriarch seemed to shut off his hearing altogether. No matter what Big Mike said, he refused to respond.
With no one to argue with, Big Mike finally gave up. The two of them spent the next hour simply staring at each other.
Every so often, the Celestials Patriarch launched another attack to see if Big Mike's ability was still active.
Unfortunately for him, nothing worked.
He was starting to get anxious.
He had no idea what was happening to the Gildari Patriarch inside the dimension, and the Beast Sovereign was probably already on his way. If Big Mike's invulnerability never expired, he would have no choice but to abandon the Gildari Patriarch and flee alone.
But Big Mike was even more anxious.
