I found my thoughts straying to the tower of babel and something i recalled, Genesis 11:6 “And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.” I'm thinking the devil knows that God doesn't lie. That's why outright extermination is not the " goal " advertised. The spirits might be very intelligent and know many things, but maybe they lack something like ingenuity... maybe they believe Genesis 11:6 and that's the real reason the Devil wants to unify the world, it's his hope to get us to do his dirty work for him. Like any unoriginal villain story I imagine the plan is betrayal afterwards.
