To cut a long story short, this trial was a sham. It was like inviting someone to a jousting competition and equipping them with a mithril lance, mithril armor, mithril shield, and a warhorse while letting them face a literal toddler in diapers on a toy horse.
There was simply no chance of failure.
Hmm, when you thought about it, was it not basically the same thing? That is, the act of how the AI handled the mechanic of giving players Divine Laws and Divine Source Origins once they ascended?
The difficulty and intimacy was higher, sure, but it was theoretically the same thing, just that the AI was the one having to foot the higher bill. No wonder it was so furious when they dared to question it, it was a miracle it didn't explode and wipe their accounts on the spot!
