"Oh, I feel very capable," he says, laughter fading out, although the grin lingers on his face, like the Cheshire Cat's. "Don't dare me, unless you really want to see it. But, no, I don't want an army of gods."

(He totally wants an army of gods.)

"It is a good idea, though. In the sense that it's in-character for me and would create tremendous chaos."
