Ex-Machina

The Ex-machina (機凱種, エクスマキナ) appear to be a race of cybernetic life forms that appear in volume 6 of the light novels, not much is currently known about them until the translations appear except that they are a cybernetic race as deduced by their name and the appearance of a cybernetic character in the 6th volume. The only known Ex-machina is Shuvi.

Strengths
Due to their nature of living in clusters and sharing a linked mind, as well as their AI-like nature, they have superior calculation abilities and communication usually takes no less than 3 seconds. It is said that they are able to replicate any attack launched at them after less than 10 seconds after seeing it. In addition to being able to replicate Azrael's Heavenly Shift near instantly despite their losses, they were even able to reflect an attack from Artosh.

Weaknesses
Although they are able to replicate and counteract attacks from opponents with ferocity, they are a defensive race in nature. If not provoked, they have no aggression towards the person or group. Therefore, they could potentially lose if they are beaten by the first move or if an unpredictable method they have not seen before is used before they can fully assess and correct the situation. It's also notable that something such as Artosh's "Divine Strike" was considered unable to be calculated due to its sheer power, so one can speculate that, while able to reproduce a Flugel's power, they can't match that of an Old Deus.

History
During the Great War, they were created by an Old Deus to kill the other Gods.
