Yes those devils that believe simply in purity and maintaining relationships between pureblood high-class devils will still exist. But do they have as much influence as they did before. Probably. Those that support the Old Satans are obsessed with purity and bloodlines. I can at least say that there is no one like that in the modern devil society that has a fanatical pride like those guys. They still do value it. But instead of stopping those that are not high-class purebloods from rising up like the vampires do, they just stack the deck against them. Their pride also allows them to grudgingly accept those of remarkable strength such as Issei, Tannin, and Rudiger Rosenkreutz. It's just that they don't provide any opportunity for those that are not high-class pureblood devils. The path is there for them, but they have no way to get there. Once someone like Issei gets there, there's little they can do to stop him and they have to accept him no matter how they feel about it. And also Sona building a Rating Game school and reincarnated devils being put in important positions in the Rating Games due to the exposed corruption of the higher-ups. Their society is changing. It doesn't mean that there aren't going to be those that are fixed on purity but change is obviously coming.
