He was quoting Robert Oppenheimer the creator of the Atomic Bomb - Oppenheimer never destroyed anything personally but he set in motion events that he believed could bring about the end of all life on this planet.

Oppenheimer was quoting the Bhagavad-Gita - a Hindu Scripture.

My poor translation of the scripture suggests that the line was a god introducing himself prior to a battle.

He explains that all the enemy soldiers are already dead because he has willed it so and that the general to whom he speaks is but an instrument of his will and will fight and win because he has willed it so.

For Deucalion to see himself in this light is not unexpected since he is a schemer and sort of an evil genius and believes himself to be infallible and unstoppable.
