Inside the deepest analysis laboratory of the Mirror Dimension base, Li Wei floated in midair, surrounded by constantly shifting streams of complex data and energy models formed by holographic projections—the firsthand information on the Dark Dimension he had brought back from the Hong Kong battlefield.

[Dark Dimension energy model construction complete. Core properties: existential erosion, reality overwrite, consciousness assimilation, energy inertia (extremely high resistance to conventional energy attacks).]

Li Wei's gaze was sharp, like that of the finest anatomist examining a specimen from the "other side" of the universe. What he sought was not to embrace darkness, but to understand it, master it, and ultimately turn it to his own use.

Application One: Constructing the "Void Barrier"—an absolute defense against dimensional erosion.

Based on his in-depth analysis of the Dark Dimension's "existential erosion" mechanism, Li Wei began reverse-engineering its "resistance." Combining the principles behind Kamar-Taj's protective barriers, Kree Spacetime Stasis Technology, and his own understanding of spatial laws, he designed an entirely new composite defensive spell.

He attempted to construct an extremely thin barrier around an experimental target, layered with multiple composite rules:

The outermost layer was an optimized [Shield of Seraphim], responsible for deflecting and dispersing conventional energy and physical impacts.

The middle layer was a miniature [Localized Spacetime Silence Barrier], greatly increasing the viscosity of spacetime within the area and obstructing all forms of energy penetration and spatial jumps.

The innermost layer was the core result of this research—the [Void Scroll]. It was not an energy shield, but a temporary "reality-definition layer." Rather than resisting the erosion of dark energy, it simulated the Dark Dimension's own "existential" characteristics. The instant the erosion reached it, it caused the energy to misjudge the target as "already part of the Dark Dimension," allowing it to bypass or ignore the protected target.

When a simulated beam of dark energy struck the composite barrier, a miracle occurred: upon touching the [Void Scroll] layer, the energy beam slid away as naturally as water meeting oil, unable to affect the target inside at all!

[Result]: Void Scroll Barrier. Although maintaining it required a constant expenditure of immense mental and energy reserves, and its range was limited, it meant that when facing Dormammu or other similar dimensional erosion attacks, Li Wei now possessed a powerful trump card of "absolute defense."

Application Two: Developing the "Order Disintegration Ray"—a specialized weapon against dark creations.

Creations of the Dark Dimension, such as Zealots and corrupted matter, possessed extremely high resistance to conventional physical and energy attacks. Li Wei shifted his approach. Since they were difficult to destroy from the outside, he would collapse the "order" upon which their existence depended from within.

Dark energy was not truly "chaotic." It possessed its own internal rules, specifically inclined toward "assimilation" and "nothingness." Li Wei carefully designed a special energy frequency. This frequency itself lacked great destructive power, but its vibrational pattern could produce intense "resonance interference" with the foundational laws of the Dark Dimension.

He modified one firing unit of the Startrail arm bracer and named it the "Order Disintegrator." When the emitted special-frequency ray struck a dark creation, it did not cause an explosion. Instead, like the resonance of a tuning fork, it triggered violent spontaneous vibrations and conflicts within the target's dark energy structure, ultimately causing it to self-disintegrate from within and disperse into the most basic void energy.

During testing, an alloy target heavily corrupted by dark energy, one capable of withstanding heavy artillery bombardment, silently crumbled into black dust like a sandcastle after being struck by the "Order Disintegration Ray."

[Result]: Order Disintegration Ray. A highly efficient, energy-saving specialized weapon against dark-aligned enemies, greatly improving the efficiency of clearing out similar threats.

Application Three—the boldest attempt: "Void-Time Imprisonment"—a simulated Dark Dimension sealing technique.

This was the boldest and most dangerous application. Li Wei attempted to combine dark energy's "existential erosion" properties with his own time-related abilities.

He envisioned creating a miniature "spacetime trap": first using [Pseudo-False Time Gap] to create an extremely brief Time Loop prison, then covering the inner walls of that looping prison with a layer of highly compressed, controllable simulated dark energy. This prison would not only trap the target in time, but slowly assimilate and erode it on the level of "existence" itself!

Due to dark energy's inertia, it was extraordinarily difficult to break from within. The Time Loop ensured the prison's stability. Unless it was released from outside or its energy ran dry, the target would fall into it forever, experiencing the eternal despair of its own existence being erased bit by bit.

[Result (Experimental)]: Void-Time Imprisonment. An ultimate imprisonment technique of extreme danger and terrifying consumption—it required maintaining both a Time Loop and simulated dark energy at once—but one that could theoretically temporarily imprison even a wisp of consciousness or an avatar of a dimensional lord-level entity. Li Wei could currently sustain it for less than 0.5 seconds, but this was already a terrifying beginning.

Summary of Improvements:

Through his seizure and application of Dark Dimension data, Li Wei achieved significant improvements against higher-dimensional threats across defense, offense, and control:

Defense: He obtained the "Void Scroll" to counter rule-level erosion.

Offense: He possessed the specialized "Order Disintegration Ray" for eliminating dark-aligned enemies.

Control: He developed the fusion imprisonment technique "Void-Time Imprisonment," which had an extraordinarily high theoretical limit.

His power system had become more comprehensive, and his understanding of "order" and "chaos," "existence" and "nothingness" within the multiverse had risen to a new level. This laid a solid foundation for his future confrontations with more varied threats from different dimensions.

"Knowledge is power..." Li Wei murmured as he watched the dark energy dust slowly dissipate across the testing grounds. "And plundering knowledge is the quickest path to gaining power."

His gaze fell upon the system interface once more. The foundations of the Marvel Main Universe were now secure. It was time to turn his eyes once again toward the endless myriad worlds awaiting his plunder.
