I think Lelouch bears greater responsibility here, since the Gods didn't seem to mind being killed by Charles and Marianne and only defended themself when Lelouch ordered them to do so.

The Code was either completly erased like its wielder, Lelouch gained it as those who support his survival believe, or the Gods just took it back. The anime never gave a clear answer on that matter.
