I suspect the current Chief God is Athena Parthenos, the Virgin Goddess of Wisdom and Civilization, and that Zeus was the previous Chief God.

It fits very well: Zeus was kind of a dick, willing to do anything to keep his power, who sent all kinds of misfortunes to Humanity in order to keep it from rebelling. Sounds like the kind of deity who would create the old Demon Lord system.

Athena was Zeus's favourite child, the one who was supposed to succeed him to the throne, which Zeus avoided by genderbending her: He swallowed whole her mother Metis while she was pregnant (Metis was supposed to give birth to a male god wiser and more powerful than Zeus), and Hephaestus extracted Athena (now a female) from Zeus's head splitting it with an axe. Athena and Apollo were Zeus's favourite children, but Athena was more interested on war and politics, while Apollo liked arts and medicine more, so it makes sense that Athena would be chosen as the next Chief God.

Athena was a virgin goddess who was repulsed by sex, but liked heroes very much and helped them a lot, giving them advice and gifts. She was basically "one of the guys". She would have HATED it if somebody had used an army of Succubi to corrupt her beloved heroes.

It would have been like this:

Valkirie: My lady! The Demon Lord has turned all the monsters into hot girls!

Athena: Meh! Whatever... Monsters are a thing of the past, anyways... This is going to be the Age of Reason and Enlightment

Valkirie: But, my lady! Your heroines are being turned into horny Succubi!

Athena: WHAT!? What about my male heroes?

Valkirie: They are dropping their swords and spellbooks and banging the monsters... like, constantly.

Athena: Send my Champion to slay that slutty Demon Lord!

Valkirie: Err... he's screwing the Demon Lord right now...

Athena: OH NO, JUST NO! Give me my spear and my aegis! I'm finishing this myself NOW!
