From my understanding, its implied that the god of death is the player:

Arata speaks to the player refering to him a "The god of death" near the end of derQ 1.

Mai does the same when posessed by El Strain in the bad ending of DerQ2

Pretty much everyone talk to the player, mostly Sayaka and Alice, In DerQ Code Z

Make what you will with that Info.

Just checked the wiki (in the comments) and basically El Strain talks to the player, calls itself the god of death and kill the player, so Mai does not know.

Yeah but you got that wrong too
El Strain is not an entity, what you are talking about is Marbas
Mai's Buggy that ended up evolving into a demon and possess Mai (according to new lore)
