Now that makes much more sense.  Hmmm Dais... With a bit of manipulation,
you could sub in "Deus de nova",  or "a new god"...  and Pearlman wrote that
when Jack Kirby's "fourth world" new gods series was coming out...  hmmmm
nah, I don't think so.  They were far to benevolent (with one exception) to
be what Pearlman had in mind...

Still, "a new god" kinda fits nicely with an ascension theme... (even
Flaming Telepaths?)
