Doesn't help there were so few incarnations to murder and some come as a set. At this point longevity can only be achieved with an invasion arc. It would be nice if she had gathered more allies, spares the magician dude, wins the respect of this next Arena King guy...I think what makes it an enormous problem here is that the initial premise was extremely structured on multiple levels.
Like there are tons of ways to start a story that allow you to adjust or decide a bunch of stuff later, but this story started by declaring a bunch of stuff up front.
It's similar to how heist stories work: This story is about a heist, here is the main character(s), here is an overview of their skills and resources, here is an overview of the heist they will pull and the difficulties involved, and now I will detail how they use their skills and resources to pull off the heist.
Feels weird to then have the character go, "Y'know what I don't think I'll do the heist" or give them a bunch of extra skills without mentioning what they are.
Only for us to see other gods paid attention to her failure as a goddess, having wrecked her own world with her summoned heroes, and then they use their own stable of other series reference mercenary heroes to try and take over. So after Sato and Sister go down, you have a lot of heroes not as good as Silkie's but they know how to work as a team and are a bit more genre savvy.
That would be a great rarely done twist, the strongest enemies have fallen so the final boss is logistics
