God may have freely chose to create, but his act of creation was not free. Some power for it to be that he "had to create beings that had their own telos in him." (Plus, if you want to talk about telos, then you allow for Hume's argument that "can doesn't imply ought").
In other words, he is forced to create beings in a "just system," which implies that there is a higher morality than God. Or if he creates the system then all morality is arbitrary.
There has been one argument that, in a sense, works: God is both the system and commander. Having just written this, it seems to me that perhaps that is what John Scotus is arguing and what you wrote; I confess I'm not entirely positive as I know nothing about Scotus and his apologetics.
