If I recall correctly, Ainz was surprised when he first encountered angels in the NW, because they’re derived from Christianity. If this is so, then please allow me to reference some ‘outside’ source material. [I fully realise that ‘demons’ are not exclusive to the Christian tradition; to facetiously quote Shakespeare, “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”]

According to all three synoptic gospels (Matthew 12, Mark 3, and Luke 11), Satan’s kingdom is united in purpose without any possibility of discord.

Or you could think about it logically... If we assume that demons are out to cause despair and devastation, then there must be a course of action that would lead to the greatest possible outcome (however it is that one measures such a thing). Put simply, a maximally evil being will do everything it can to be maximally evil. You have suggested that it would be more evil to betray other evil beings. But this cannot be so as it would negate the fullest extent of evil possible, and lead to an outcome that is good relative to what could have been. ‘Betrayal’ ought to be thought of as a trait of the cowardly and weak willed. Hence those who are strong, whether good or evil, would never betray their own.
