No, that ability got nothing with him not participating.

First, he didn't have that ability (by the way, it's a standard ability that all the main-casts of the Psalms have) in the web novel (the version in which he didn't particiate in the war). The reason why he didn't go to the war was becasue the holy king tasked him with protecting the holy kingdom along with a few other heroes.

Second, contrary to what you might think, it's not a future-reading ability. It's an ability which CALCULATES THE PROBABILITY of your death in a battle against somone EMITTING KILLING INTENT TOWARDS YOU WHEN YOU'RE RIGHT IN FRONT THEM, and if that probability is very close to 100, a simulated battle will be sent to your brain. By the way, the ability is directly related to the psalms, so the necessary data can be extracted from there.

Third, that was just a simulated battle, while the outcome of the simulation was the death of both them, it doesn't mean that Ogarou or Luke can't win at all, there is a chance no matter how small, and don't forget that the reason why Ogarou didn't fight was because he saw a strong will in Luke's eyes and thought that he might actually die if he fought.

Lastly, the manga follows the light novel, in which Luke participated in the holy war contrary to the holy war. It's a future-death-prediciting ability, rather an ability which shows a simulated battle that the Psalms judged that you will most likely lose your life in.
