To be exposed to a false law of order is both a good thing and a bad thing. It depends on whether you can handle it or not. Kings of law surely cannot handle it. First, they will be enlightened when they see the Secrets and truths that the law of order represents. Then their minds will expand as it tries to fit the enormity of what they are seeing into their mind.
Infinity is a known concept, but it is only a concept. It is not a reality. Visualizing infinity is an act beyond weak beings. There's a limit to the size of numbers that their mind can grasp accurately before it begins to blur. 1000 is larger than 100 and 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 is much larger than 1,000,000,000,000. That much is sure. But at some point, the large numbers don't make much of a difference. They are all large.
To see the law of order of a world god is to try and visualize the infinite. Weaker beings think that the universe is infinite. It is not infinite. It is just expanding faster than their mind can keep up with. So there is always more to see when they try to quantify the size of the void universe. They can't even quantify how large it is in the past, much less how large it is in the present.
To weaker beings, the void universe is effectively infinite. It doesn't really matter to them if the void universe is infinite or not. Their lives are not changed by that information. It makes no difference to their peace of mind if the void Universe is infinite or not. That changes when their mind is forced to expand way beyond its limit for them to visualize and comprehend how large the universe is.
World gods are not as large as infinity, and their law of order is not infinite, but it is still very large, and unlike infinity that can't be made manifest, their law of order exists. Trying to stuff it into the mind of a king of law is sure to make their minds explode. The information will overload their minds and stretch their consciousness until they explode mentally and physically.
Even titans of law are not safe from it. They have a budding concept, so they can resist somewhat, but they will not be able to help themselves from trying to comprehend the ultimate concept. Their incomplete concept will be overridden as they go mad. Sovereigns of law will be able to resist the impulse to look at the supreme law, but that means that they can't comprehend it at all.
The threat of a broken mind is just the minimum. They won't be left alone with their broken minds and bodies. Their broken existence will be forcefully commandeered by the law of order, and then it will begin to rewrite their existence in its image. After all, it managed to rewrite a corner of the void universe into a world. It will be easy work to overwrite a broken entity that is not offering any kind of resistance.
In summary, the person that witnesses his law of order will become a mindless or raving lunatic with mutations that have warped their existence. That won't be of any use to him in the competition.
So no, it wouldn't have helped the serpentine world god if he had exposed someone to his law of order so that they would be able to crack the law matrix of their arena. That is a very dangerous idea bordering on stupidity. He wouldn't subject anyone to be exposed to his law unless he wanted to kill that person.
That, in turn, begs another question. How come Soverick is not some raving hideous mutated lunatic? How come Soverick is capable of looking not only at one law of order but at two laws of order? That question occupied the serpentine world god's attention and smoldered his anger. I think you should take a look at
He noticed that Soverick's soul was very powerful for a king of law. His soul can match even Sovereigns of law, but he doesn't have a concept to protect him at all, so it is still strange that the laws of order haven't had any visible effect on him yet. Soverick ought to be a horrible-looking thing warped by the laws of order. He should look like an entity with many tentacles, limbs, or many eyes and not the well-composed person he is seeing.
It is honestly extraordinary that someone like Soverick exists, but that doesn't help his situation. He would have marveled if he were a spectator and not someone who has a lot to lose by Soverick being special. His grievances with the Sage are still there, and his feeling of being cheated hasn't gone just because Soverick is capable of extraordinary things.
So he managed to grumble despite feeling slightly impressed with Soverick. He said to the first Sage, "You're more of a snake than I am."
"Why, thank you." The Sage replied with a cheerful smile.
The Sage replied with more display of emotion than he had expressed since their conversation started combined. He knows that the serpentine world meant it is a derogative remark, but he chooses to take it as a compliment. He is a snake, and they are all tiny mice running for their lives, trying to hide from him.
He chooses to believe that he is a predator while the serpentine world god is expressing the indignance of a prey. Unfortunately, the indignance of prey is worth nothing in this world. Predators won't even get indigestion from the indignance of their prey.
'I haven't lost yet.' The serpentine world god told himself.
He chose to encourage himself instead of indulging his urge to attack the first Sage. They made a pact not to attack each other or make any move against the other side during the competition. That means he cannot kill Soverick despite how easy and indirect it will be. He also cannot attack anyone in the Virut plane for the duration of the competition.
NOTE: I have dropped another hint about Legion-7 in this chapter. I hope you noticed it.
