Grayscaling is a process used by Order to pull many people's minds into the Memverse. Anyone who goes through it also loses their free will in reality as well.
Description

Grayscaling is a process used by Order that is similar to black-and-white images and videos. It is used to subdue the will of people trapped in a colorless and unchanging world called "Memverse", and to forcibly connect as many people as possible to it through their Sea-Cucumber Phones. This process neutralizes the will of everyone trapped in the virtual world and results in the loss of their free will in reality, as well as their real-world connections.

Etymology
Grayscaling comes from gray, scaling, and grayscale. The word gray, aside from its literal meaning of the color gray, is also a synonym for "boring", "dull", and "featureless", referring to the process of Grayscaling making people the same by taking their free will away, depriving them of their uniqueness, as well as scaling the world's colors down to gray.
