We don't know where the Devil in that book, inside the story, originated from. Probably the consequence of the humans coming up with stories to demonize Ymir and the elddians, as Kruger said. But to the readers it serves as foreshadow of that moment when Eren, the Devil, makes a deal with Ymir to grant him her power. Based on the North Mythology lore hints, it seems Eren was the villain all along, since chapter one with his "dream", mirrowing the Jormungandr, the evil serpent, world eater, who goes back in time in an eternal loop of destruction and rebirth, or something like that. At the end of chapter 122, Ere's body kinda resembles a giant snake, with it's Jaws wide open. I thikn that, in Ragnarock, the world ends and Jormungandr is a big part of it, and I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong. Obviously, imo.
