Jellylike flesh bubbled around the Thing's face as Ysera's natural toxins scarred and corroded the Emissary's unnatural form, yet It seemed to pay no heed either to the acid or the new roots snatching and tangling at Its feet. The Emissary did at least come to a halt, at least for the moment, in order to properly engage with Its rival giant.

As Rockslide seized hold of Its arms, It remained standing tall despite the immense strength trying to pull It downwards. It stood like a mountain and laid claws on Rockslide's own arms, and It squeezed. From where It gripped Santo's stone surface came the sound of rock being strained under impossibly strong pressures. The Emissary intended to crush Rockslide to rock powder with Its bare hands. It was so focused on Santo and Ysera however that It paid no mind to Kyo burning a swath through Its minions, getting closer.
