The entire world seemed to have fallen apart. The sky crumbled, and the ground was erased. They were standing on top of nothing for a moment.
However, when there was an end, there would be a beginning. The world that crumbled was soon restored.
They could see gray sand gradually appear out of nothing. The sky also became gray, and the trees and everything around them seemed to lack color. In fact, even they couldn't escape from the lack of color.
"Hmm? This is a black and white world, like in a manga?" The Sword Saint furrowed his eyebrows, feeling something familiar. "A monochrome world, huh?"
If Theo wanted to deprave the power of the slime, he should at least do this much, he thought.
However, the slime seemed to be laughing at Theo's efforts.
"Hahaha. This is ridiculous. Do you think you can stop my Color Authority with just this? I can simply recognize all these colors as gray and its variants!" The slime laughed, looking down at Theo.
He was scared for nothing.
"I'm going to teach you that this is not enough to stop—" The slime was using his power to control the color of the soil. But surprisingly, the soil refused to move. That was when he began to realize something was wrong. "!!!"
There didn't seem to be any disadvantages to disclosing the information. In fact, he could make the slime more panicked in this situation if he told the slime about the current situation he was in.
After weighing the pros and cons, Theo finally decided to tell him about the world he had just created.
"Color is indeed good, but have you ever thought about what makes color? In the end, the color is just the ability of an item to reflect light." Theo pointed at the sky.
"!!!" The slime had just realized there was no sunlight. Even the other four people were confused as to how Theo could create this world.
"How can we even—" The Heavenly Sovereign wanted to say something, but Hel understood the principle of this power because she had seen it multiple times.
Both Theo and Loki could use their illusions to allow Lyrventh to see the world. However, no matter how hard they worked, everything Lyrventh saw was an illusion, not the real thing. The color he saw was not the reflection of the light but the concept of color that had been embedded into the illusion. If there was no light, then there was simply no color.
"I see. It seems that the world Theo creates is nothing but a world that is deprived of light." Hel breathed out of relief. They might be able to see the items around them as if they were in a monochrome world. However, this was just an illusion.
Their real bodies might be standing in the middle of darkness, as light was not a concept in that world. This was the world that Theo created with the World Re-Creation and Inverted World, a world without light.
Of course, Theo could easily use his illusion to grant the other items their original color. However, doing so for six people simultaneously would simply require too much power and take a toll on his mind.
That was why he created this monochrome world illusion to allow them to see everything around them without using too much Magic Power.
Theo stated, "I have sealed his Color Authority with this world. However, the slime is still very strong. Hel, I want you to help me destroy the life he creates. Sir Sword Saint, help me cut all his seals.
"Ehm, Dragon, you can help me evaporate his body. As for Sir Feng Hao, you might not be restricted by the Color Authority anymore, but please refrain from using Fire and Light.
"Even with Hel and Sir Sword Saint stopping the Seal and Life Authorities, he still has the Dissolve and Devour Abilities. So, we have to be careful." Theo gave them the instructions.
The Goddess of Death, the Heavenly Sovereign, and the Sword Saint clasped their hands, getting excited to fight. The Magma Dragon didn't want to admit it, but he was certainly in awe of this certain human.
The Magma Dragon declared, "Theodore Griffith. You will be my eternal friend. I'm from the proud Dragon Race. That's why I'll fight alongside you. You are far smarter than me, so if you have any instructions, then there's no need to hesitate to order me."
Theo smiled. It seemed that the Magma Dragon had recognized him. It was quite a development, considering they were clashing with their lives on the line not long ago.
"In that case, help me protect this world's future."
The Magma Dragon smirked. "Certainly."
The slime hadn't attacked them yet, and he allowed them to discuss their plan because he was still confused about this world. He tried to find a solution for his ability. On the one hand, Theo had said that light and fire elements could give him the ability to see color and temporarily regain his Authority. But he didn't have any abilities that could produce them. So, it seemed that he was stuck with only four Authorities this time.
Seeing that Theo and the others had begun to move, the slime didn't have any choice other than to fight them.
He sent forth multiple tentacles. Because the Dark Saint had moved away all the World Class Monster's corpses from the battlefield, he couldn't regain two more powers, especially the Water. In other words, he couldn't use the bubbles to their full potential. With Theo's current strength, that ability wasn't dangerous anymore.
So, the slime could only send forth multiple tentacles toward them. He mixed the tentacles with four Authorities to confuse them.
Unfortunately for the slime, Theo had gained the ability to see the flow of Authority. He could easily recognize all the Authorities infused into the tentacles. And his clone was in charge of creating an illusion to mark them, allowing the others to know what the power inside the tentacle was.
All of them smirked as Hel and the Sword Saint stepped forward.
