Dissonant Reality
Dissonant Reality, also referred to as Dissonance, is a substance originating from The Other Place and a byproduct of refining S-3LF energy after it is extracted from the dimension. It is capable of reality warping, matter deconstruction, erasing things from existence, and distorting the mind of everyone in contact. Dissonant Reality also serves as a partial gateway to The Other Place, as theorized by a Nexus scientist. The Dissonance substance was discovered by the Nexus Core when they accessed The Other Place to extract S-3LF energy to Nevada. This process was very hazardous and ended up driving multiple scientists insane, with many of them developing a warped divine vision and even worshipping a fellow scientist as a true prophet of The Other Place. MERC was employed with creating hazmat gear to protect the scientists and MERC workers operating the S-3LF Extractors in the Mining Sector but the effort was futile, with Phobos soon after ordering the company to stop producing the equipment.
After Dr. Hofnarr found out that Dissonance can be filtered out and be safely contained thanks to his patented Divergence Engine, the Nexus Core used it for various purposes once Phobos found out about this containment procedural; they repurposed the hazardous material as a source of power. They weaponized it by creating various weapons using Dissonance as ammo, such as the Dissonance Cannon. Dissonant Reality was used to create combat units that are powered by it, examples being the Conduits, Lamenters, and Dissonant G03LMs. Dissonant Reality can be manipulated by the Keystone Fragment, giving the user various abilities such as levitation, telekinesis, firing the substance as projectiles known as Nexus Bolts, a Dissonant shield, and a Dissonant slamming blast.
Dissonance is confirmed to be able to create as much as destroying. Krinkels also has said that it is conceptual in nature and described dissonant as a "math soup", and going by his words dissonant is apparently the same with probability.
