Look, we're kinda stumped on options.
Give a rundown on what you can do at the moment.

Hmmmm...
Well, their creation is protected by that shield, which you probably can't get through. Or rather, you can't get through easily- they had six people to create it, unless it was a prior invention for some reason, whereas you've only got one to wriggle past it, so it's just going to be way more powerful than the effects you'd be bringing against it, as a general rule.
Making this worse, of course, is the fact that those
dumbs will probably be guarding it. If you had infinite time, you could probably finagle your way to at least something. With those dumbs guarding it, though, you're probably just not going to have the time to sit there and puzzle your way through it, which might very well make it functionally invulnerable.
Now, in theory you could still slip past them, but that'd be far from a sure thing, and it would buy you
more time, not
infinite time. Especially if you were doing anything flashy to it in the meantime.
So, that pretty much leaves you dealing with the dumbs themselves, either directly or indirectly. Two major ideas come to mind on that note.
The first, which you've been trying with limited success, is to snoop around and meddle with their affairs while they're not paying attention. The issue here is that there's only so much snooping can do, especially when they're doing all their work together. Information-gathering, certainly, and you can potentially make very subtle changes to their Plans and hope they don't notice or care, but there's not a whole lot in the way of stealing all their power for yourself or tricking them into ruining everything without getting really clever about it.
The other option is to talk to the dumbs directly. This has the same issues as the first one, really- you can't make them do a whole lot. Theoretically you could make friends with them or convince them something's a good idea, but they are
dumbs and they don't like you for no reason at all.
In short, you're pretty sunk. It's not easy beating six organized stupids all on your own.
Well, you're not going to find them just by looking around. Wander off in one direction, maybe see if you can sense the presence of others, or perhaps other universes, or worlds.

If this fails, contemplate futility.
But... that might be really far away! What if it's dangerous, or you have trouble finding your way back, or they do things while you're gone?
You just don't think you're ready for that.
Of course, that means you're stuck poking a shield and communicating with dumbs, so maybe all of this is just futile. Maybe they've won. Maybe they're going to make their little tower thing and there's nothing you can do to stop them, and maybe it's going to turn out awesome. Maybe they were right to kick you out and call you dumb.
Fuck that.
You can't, remember? Making stuff on your own is really, really hard. That's probably why those dumbs are all banding together, in fact- they know they can accomplish a lot more together than they can individually.
Two words: Cosmic rape.
Hm. You don't think you can just suck help out of someone, but maybe you could trick them or something? Or maybe messing with them while they're creating something? That'd be kind of like puppeting them into doing what you want, only ridiculously less controlled.
Use the suPerior Persuasion to convince one of them to help you.
Which one, how, help you with what, etc.
Speaking of which, looks like they've finished another major creation... grrr, you're running behind in ruining these dumbs.
Or maybe
biding your time, right?
