Sure it's not an oblique reference to that bit in Saw Judges 4 and reprised in 5, when Jael, wife of Heber the Kenite, hammered a tent stake through the head of Sisera (captain of the army of Jabin, king of Hazor) and into the ground while he lay sleeping? This despite there being peace between the houses of Jabin and Heber. For which grand crime she was punished by being "blessed above all women".
If nothing else, it shows that human ingenuity succeeded where "God" failed; iron chariots are the character's Kryptonite.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
