Well this particular way was by shattering Gems and literally jamming their Gemstones together, and shattering Gems has already been hinted to "kill" them in some way.

The regular fusion we all know and commonly see is by merging their physical forms or "human constructs" rather than jamming gemstones together, the gemstones are pretty much the actual Gem. They probably shatter them enough for them to remain some type of conscious but jam the together so they suffer a permanent fuse whenever their gemstones attempt to recreate their physical forms.
