The Mechanical God was no god in the traditional sense. It was a New God born as technology advanced and civilization developed a manufacturing industry. →
As mechanical engineering progressed by leaps and bounds, its combination with Alchemy Technology produced enormous machines. Humans naturally felt awe toward things of great size and weight, much like the reverence they felt when bowing before statues in churches or temples to offer prayers. From that awe, an entirely new deity emerged—the Mechanical God!

Of course, given time, the Mechanical God would surely create a Divine Kingdom of its own and enter the depths of the Void. But the intervening period was crucial. Once it descended, the Machine Church would emerge, and the number of people who worshiped it would explode.
