I mean after surviving a gate user's most powerful attack, it would be normal for him to consider himself and invincible. And you clearly see how he was ready to fight Naruto and Sasuke after gaining Immortality as such. But he was again overwhelmed by the duo figuring out his limbo and their power, strength, and strategy ability, time space jutsu. I want to point out that Madara easily survived that attack. He did feel the pressure and increased his effort to obtain dual Rinnegan, after which he quickly distracted them with his multiple Chibaku Tensei and cast IT. He wasn't being overwhelmed, but he clearly realized he should stop messing about and get serious.
