However, this performance actually reveals a lot of intelligence.
For instance, these two civilizations can basically be confirmed not to be the currently strongest civilization on the ranking list.
Given the level of strength of that civilization, they would neither feel contempt for nor should they hide their name.
After all, their strength is visible to the naked eye, and even one could match the combined strength of several Trial Civilizations.
Moreover, for Trial Civilizations, the Trial is also an opportunity to recruit Affiliated Civilizations.
Recruiting Affiliated Civilizations can enhance one's strength in the shortest amount of time; since one is already the first, they should display a domineering side.
Hiding in fear doesn't facilitate the recruitment of Affiliated Civilizations.
This applies to Human Civilization as well.
