I wonder how far that goes...

How free is a monster to choose to pursue say Poseidon's or Eros's interests when they aren't aligned with the Demon Lord's?

If say Eros wanted to preserve human women even after monsters became able to give birth to males and the DL instructed her minions to monsterize all of Humanity... could she trust her Apsaras, Gandharvas and monsterized Houris and Cupids to not betray her? Or would she be forced to work behind their backs, using her human and uncorrupted Angel followers?

What about powerful monsters who have kept a larger part of their former selves like Pharaohs, Cyclops, Dragons and Ryus? What about monsterized gods? Could they resist the will of the DL to some extent? Could the DL make the Glacies followers of an Ice Queen or the Anubis followers of a Pharaoh turn against them?

I get the feeling that the DL's control over monsters is largely unconscious: monsters adopt personality traits of the DL and want what she wants...

Unintelligent monsters would in the past instinctively obey the both DL and strongest monsters, but intelligent monsters could harbour rebellious thoughts... KC has said that intelligent monsters would rebel and replace previous Demon Lords, but the current mamono don't care much about power and don't like violence, so they don't think about rebellion...

Also, the loose hierarchy among current monsters is due to the influence current Demon Lord's personality, that make them pursue their own happiness and pleasure and do their own thing like she does...

If we take Druella as a lesser example of what the DL could do, she could grant the monsters her own DE, making them lewder and able to have more pleasurable sex, which would make monsters love and obey her, but Druella needed to use her powers directly on monsters in order to do so... it isn't as if she can telegraph her desires to monster she hasn't met...
