You're describing a paradox. Paradoxes can't exist. Like God.

As you said, responsibility is intent. It has nothing to do with "duty", because no-one has a duty to do anything.
Under the auspices of an omnipotent being, nothing could possibly happen
unless it was intended by him. Responsibilty automatically falls on any observer with the power to change a foreseeable outcome.
If a child is certainly about to be hit by a car and you know you can certainly save her by calling out, you are completely responsible for her death if you stand silent and watch, because you had the power to prevent it.
Because you had the power to prevent it, if you had *intended* her not to die, you would have called out.
If you (or a god) have the same infallible foresight and power with regards to everything in reality, you (or a god) are completely responsible for everything in reality.
