A team of thrill-seeking angels, who get their kicks BASE jumping into hell, uncover a plot by the most nefarious gangster in the underworld to take control of the human realm.
Once they discover the plot what do they do? The answer to the above question is essentially the goal, and currently missing from the logline.

The answer to the above question is essentially the goal, and currently missing from the logline.
Was the discovery the inciting incident or was there another event that sparked their interest to uncover the plot? This is important as it defines how and when he story starts.
Lastly agreed with CMathias the antagonist sounds weak especially compared with the Devil, which would obviously be there to some degree.

Hi I think the story's goal and theme are revenge and justice. Who and how can be plugged in to support the goal and theme.

Hi
I think the story’s goal and theme are revenge and justice. Who and how can be plugged in to support the goal and theme.
A mythological assassin strikes back to right the wrongs of rape and injustice…
This tells me he’s a demigod and he’s got some good reasons to pick up his assassin skills again. But it’s still not enough info. Maybe what’s missing is who is responsible for the injustice. You said a woman and a chimera mark. Is it an all women warrior civilization?
See lessThis is not a logline but a question. Will it be admissible for a logline for a SERIES be longer than a standard of 30 words (or so)?
Great graphical presentation of logline lengths stats, well done DPG. This demonstrates beyond a doubt that an ideal length for a logline is 25 words, however technically the answer to the OP's question is still yes.

Great graphical presentation of logline lengths stats, well done DPG.
This demonstrates beyond a doubt that an ideal length for a logline is 25 words, however technically the answer to the OP’s question is still yes.
There is no rule, outside of independent statistical analysis, that defines a necessity of 30 words.? If a writer is structuring a plot and is using a logline in the process, they can make it as long as they want regardless the medium. The likelihood of the logline being better increases the closer it is to 25 words in length, and even more so for pitching purposes – the likelihood of the concept attracting a budget goes up the closer it is to 25 words.
I think OP wasn’t asking about the statistical probability of writing a good lolgline and making it longer than 30 words. I believe the question was more about industry wide standards, as there are none it comes down to the individual writer, the company reading the logline and their in house requirements of logline lengths.
