(A few days later, planet Satoru, Leo's POV)
Even after Leo approved Dumpy's transport outside the Time Stilled World and toward Planet Satoru, it still took the Cult engineers nearly an entire decade of work to successfully devise a transport craft capable of surviving prolonged exposure to his corrosive presence, because ordinary metals dissolved within minutes around him while even reinforced alloys gradually softened and warped if left too close to his skin for extended periods.
As although Dumpy learnt how to control his corrosive aura, what he could not control was his naturally acidic skin and the heat it radiated naturally.
Entire engineering teams had been reassigned exclusively toward the project, with countless prototype vessels failing one after another as the researchers slowly realized that the problem was no longer simply Dumpy's physical weight or size, but the fact that his very existence had become fundamentally incompatible with normal environments.
