Lex was caught in a fight he could not quickly resolve, nor could he avoid. An enemy as dangerous as Daekol, who kidnapped Almira to lure Lex out, and one who knew about him having a system, simply couldn't be allowed to live. Unfortunately, Daekol did not share Lex's opinion and refused to die easily.
The Midnight Inn, too, had initiated their invasion. Due to the massive size of the realm, even if it was an immature one, it would take them a while to find Z's location. It might take them even longer to rescue him due to the fact that they might need to go across the realm to do it depending on where he was.
Both were involved in extremely serious and potentially dangerous endeavors, but just because they were busy did not mean the rest of the universe had taken a break. With each passing day, the situation in the universe became more and more complex.
