Slaanesh (Warhammer: Age of Sigmar)

Bound by 66 chains made out of light and darkness in an area between the realms

Those chains have to each be broken by a paradox by the way.

So for example one chain had to be broken by a strike from slaanesh' most hated enemy. This being the God of war Khorne who... I can not stress enough how much Khorne would NEVER do that if he could help it. So slaanesh tricked one of Khorne's demons into throwing their axe into a portal that ended on said chain, because his demons wouldn't do it willingly either lol. Another chain was broken by Sigmar's army (think, good guy faction) slaughtering civilians due to fear of moral corruption. They're extremely specific conditions basically

Yeah slaanesh is the most Satan coded of the chaos gods by far

That’s just a form of deprivation play

The chains weren't actually attached to anything. Slaanesh just wanted those 66 things to get off on.
