Although it was an offline exchange competition, the God of Suffering was still proud of it and believed that no matter what happens during the match, he would always have a winning hand in the end.
After all, the more civilizations that suffer defeat and misfortune, the stronger he grows!
Besides, when the official competition starts, the God of Suffering himself would be "logged in" within the Pantheon!
Even the God of Fiction sent a message stating that when the next official match starts, within the "Civilization" game world, his followers would be as ubiquitous as the grilled fish, and it was widely believed that "the deity of suffering would replace the deity of fire as the new world's ruler.".
Therefore, in this competition, he would not be a "player," but rather a "Deity within the game." Therefore, his church would participate in his stead, with the Church of Suffering's official qualification being "1," but in reality, it was "2"!
