This seems like a pure theater, which provides no functional security?
Surely human will simply use a debugger. Open inspector and find the object in DOM. Or open JS console and find it using a single command.
Not to mention that "difficulty level" thing is pretty absurd too. Your main protection is obscurity - the idea is that humans won't look at DOM. For that, you don't need multiple operations, just put it in any random attribute or a JS comment. Maybe add 1 operation like "base64" for the happiness.
