In other words, “watch my son. He will become a true deity.” Especially if Frankie has already gotten so far with his warp powers. That and the concept of his soul, ‘freedom, liberty, will’ are the most common and powerful concepts in human history. If any of the 20 has the chance to truly ‘ascend’ its the liberator
