God-power is the God singing with its own voice. It is Markless, because if it 'of a piece', if you will, with the rest of creation. However, the key point of it is that the controlling entity is Outside.
The WLW and similar divine ploys are atemporal interventions, inserted into the Inside as whole timelines. Everything they do is destined, they can see their past/future, etc.
But the No-God is the end of time. Its actions, and those of its slaves, make the world anew every time. As soon as it impacts the timeline of a divine agent, that timeline no longer 'fits' in with the rest of the world, and is disrupted.
Sorcery, by contrast, is a part of the world, same as rocks and people. The No-God doesn't disrupt it for the same reason it doesn't tear the air around it apart. That is not its function. The actions of the Few don't rely on the Outside/Inside congruity, and therefore are not automatically voided in the No-God's presence.
