Seems that I stuck with modifying a noun again, in the following sentence is
it only「破壊し尽す」 modifying 「背徳の欲望」 or both verbs 「玩弄し、破壊し尽す」 ?

> 浮世離れした幼い少女を思うさま玩弄し、破壊し尽す背徳の欲望が掻き立てられてやまない。

Again question about modifying nouns
Looking at the syntax, `玩弄し` can't end a sentence, because if `し` was the
conjunction, a verb was missing, e.g. `玩弄するし`.

Looking at the semantics, I'll try a one-pass translation over the sentence
and see what happens.

```

    {1:浮世} {2:離れ} {3:した} {4:幼い} {5:少女} を {6:思うさま}{7:玩弄}し、{8:破壊}し{9:尽す}背徳の欲望が掻き立てられてやまない。
    
    {1:The mortal realm} {2:separation} {3:did} {4:childish} {5:girl} {6:the way she liked it} {7:mocking} {8:break stuff} {9:until exhausted}
    
```

Until here, it looks like> "[verb] the childlike girl who had seperated
herself from the mortal realm played with her as [agent] liked, and eventually
broke her".

```

    浮世離れした幼い少女を思うさま玩弄し、破壊し尽す{1:背徳}の{2:欲望}が{3:掻き立てられて}{4:やまない}。
    
    {1:immorality} {2:desire} {3:to stir up} {4:relentlessly}
    
```

"A relentless immoral desire stirring up inside the childlike girl who had
separated herself from the mortal realm plagued her mind, and eventually broke
her."

(Note: I have omitted 思うさま (=as one likes), as I can't make sense of an
animate-subject property on an inanimate subject (玩弄 =mocking) in English.)

The other interpretation with the comma as sentence-separator could look like
this:

"It mocked the girl (who had separated herself from the mortal realm) as it
pleased. An immoral desire relentlessly stirred up."

The latter variant seems to miss a subject in the first part and an object in
the second. The first variant combines both. So on grounds of syntactic and
semantic coherence, I prefer the interpretation that the comma distributes
over the verbs instead of over the sentences.

浮世離れした幼い少女 is the object for both
玩弄し([#1?](http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/leaf/jn2/50017/m0u/)≒[弄]{もてあそ}ぶ... "toy
with"? but probably physically, not mentally) and 破壊し尽す.  
思うさま(≒[思うがまま](http://ejje.weblio.jp/content/%E6%80%9D%E3%81%86%E3%81%8C%E3%81%BE%E3%81%BE))
modifies 玩弄し.  
玩弄し and 破壊し尽す both modify 欲望.
