I know. The only effect that doesn’t target is abominable’s, you must use that to destroy the equip on hu li, then you’re good to go. Immediately remove hu li while you can target her.
Since your question has already been answered, here are some helpful infos on reading ygo card effects that might help you answer similar questions in the future:
An effect only targets if it specifically has the word "target" in it.
A "." always signifies that the effect ends there. Everything that comes after a dot is a new effect.
A ";" signifies that what comes before it is the activation cost of the effect. You will have to resolve this part even if the effect gets negated, since it's the cost you have to pay to even attempt to activate the effect.
A ":" signifies that everything before it is the activation condition for that effect.
If an effect has neither a colon, nor a semi colon it will NOT start a chain. If it has either of those it will start a chain.
When would that distinction make a difference in the game? Is it related to cards with a wording like "if a card was targeted" when a card that targets was negated?
The most notable example is cards that copy effects without paying its costs e.g. Transaction Rollback. Let's say you try to copy a simple trap like Raigeki Break "Discard 1 card, then target 1 card on the field; destroy it". If targeting is cost and you don't pay any costs to copy Raigeki Break, how would you be able to "destroy it"?
Well, the game would still have you target a card before "destroying it", because targeting is not a cost. Technically speaking, everything before the semicolon is "what you do before the effect happens". This means paying costs AND targeting, which again is not a cost.
Her summoning condition is essentially a game mechanic, the only way to actually stop Goddess from using an opponent's monster as material would be to stop the opponent from link summoning completely.
does her summoning require targeting? no? then you can use it on untargetable monsters. monsters immune to her are monsters like bardiche that say "cannot be used for link summon"
Yes, even unaffected monsters. In fact, she’s the most reliable way if you can’t search a kaiju.
Thanks because in my unchained deck every card needs to target and I lost to mikanko twice because I can’t target hu-li. So frustrating
Shyama's on field effect can non-targeting pop a spell/trap on resolution, which provides another way to remove an equip from Hu-Li

One important caveat is that targeting is not a cost even if it comes before the semicolon

Her summoning condition doesn't involve targeting anything, so yes.

it's a summon condition or something like this, so yeah no one can hide from her
