The chains aren't unbreakable as you probably noticed. She slowly started to break through by patience and strength. Had they been transcendent chains, which is a separate category from divine, she couldn't have broken out. I think the best way to describe how the chains work is that they cause a time dilation of sorts. Had they actually shattered time, she wouldn't have been able to even move. The disregard for the rules refer to both how they screw with time and space as well as the laws of humans.

And how it affects space? By messing with distance and various other factors. Had she not broken the chains, she would have reached the altar and tore out the sword which can in fact cut the chains.

Of course, I just wrote the origin part in a span of twenty or thirty minutes so I think it'd be a bit early to call it the final version. Hell, right now I just thought that more chains appear as she begins to break loose. I think the best way to describe those chains would be like Enkidu from Fate/Stay Night. In terms of appearance as well as how they seemingly appear out of thin air.

Also, all divinity does for an item is work as a quality stamp of sorts. Or a mark to show that it has been created by a god. Heck, it might even be called an extension of said god. And yes, pretty much all of their weapons and armor as well as equipment are golden. Or white like snow. It tends to vary.

Aaaand yes, I am making stuff up as I go along. XD
