I would argue that pride and shame/despair/whatever go hand and hand.
Pride is a mask for shame.
The devil you speak of, he is arrogant and prideful, but on some level, he knows the events in the book of revelation are going to happen to him eventually.
If the debble Is the lord of lies, does that not mean that he must lie to himself? In order to stop him from despairing.

They are not actively lying - aka saying things they do not believe in. They are delusional, believing nonsense and having an ideology of information blockade, so that it doesn't change in the face of truth.
