> Beings just as powerful, if not more powerful than a god should suddenly be controled by an Succubus?

Well don't forget that the word 'god' in MGE gets applied to lots of things. It gets applied to ryu, for example, and even the pleb-est of angels are regarded as "lesser divinities". You wouldn't bat an eyelid if you were told that a shoggoth could beat a valkyrie in a fight, which may well be what it means.

Also, the Demon Lord couldn't necessarily control them. She doesn't control Poseidon or the Fallen God, despite them being monsters. The power-level that both the Demon Lord and the monsters have obtained means we're through the looking glass in the current age with regards to the Chief God --> Demon Lord --> monsters dynamic.

> This means that the chief god can control the chaos gods via the demon lord, which is totally absurd.

What's so absurd about it? The original Chief God made the world in such a way that that's precisely what should happen. The Chief God is supposed to (secretly) control everything. Why would the Chaos Gods be any different? ...unless your inference is that the Chaos Gods weren't designed by the original Chief God and really are "invaders from the Outer Darkness". Which I guess would be in keeping with the Lovecraftian theme, but then again, the Gods have previous when it comes to "claiming something came from the outer blackness when really they put it there on purpose". So I'll probably reserve judgement until more info.
