What's omnipotence… compared to this?

He's in charge. Deciding for all. Ignoring protests.

Humans are fragile, slow, hesitant.

He knows what's best for them... creates impossible options... journeys beyond their wildest expectations.

He remembers everything, even what he never learned. He's Algernon. He does not want to go back. Ever.

Thousands of light years are not enough to travel. There must be more than this.

He will cut all moorings, sail the ship to unbelievable galaxies, teach humans all the wonders of the universe.

He's finally become the person he's always wanted to be. Do they have to ask why?
