Forum:How does Subterror Fiendess allow you to fill the board with subterrors?

Hi, a question came up in a youtube comment section, regarding Subterror Behemoths and Subterror Fiendess interactions.

The question was: If you just special summoned a subterror behemoth face up with fiendess' effect, then how is it possible that after the effect resolves, you can activate the effect of a subterror behemoth that allows it to summon itself from the hand? If there's a face up monster, shouldn't this then be impossible?

Example: you have Subterror Fiendess and 2 Subterror Behemoth Stalagmo in your hand. you normal summon fiendess to activate her effect, flipping her face down and special summoning one stalagmo FACE UP, then after the stalagmo was summoned the effect of the other stalagmo in your hand triggers, allowing you to summon that one from your hand.

I am pretty sure it's possible to do this, at least looking at games like devpro and ygopro where this is all legal, and never hearing from anyone that this isn't a legal move would make you think so.

I think it's because the behemoth effect triggers at the time that fiendess is flipped face down, but it makes it confusing because if you do that she then summons a behemoth face up, which would theoretically disallow the remaining behemoth(s) in your hand to trigger their own special summon effect.

If anyone can provide an answer to how the game mechanics exactly allow this, then that would be awesome. I main Subterror myself and I always love learning more in depth about them.
