Why Devil ask Jesus to send them to the Swine fled?They are wickedness and malice but fool too How ?

Mr 5:13-17

5:13And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea. 5:14And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done. 5:15And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. 5:16And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine. 5:17And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts

    The Cast-Out Demons Who Entered Swine

    No fault can be found with Jesus for allowing the demons to enter the swine, especially since certain unstated factors may very well have been involved, such as whether the owners of the swine were Jews, thus being guilty of disrespect for the Law. It was, of course, not required that Jesus exercise foreknowledge as to what the demons would do once they entered the unclean animals. And the demons may have wanted to take possession of the swine in order to derive therefrom some unnatural sadistic pleasure. Also, it might reasonably be argued that a man is worth more than a herd of swine. (Mt 12:12) Furthermore, all animals actually belong to Jehovah by reason of his Creatorship, and thus Jesus as God’s representative had every right to permit the demons to take possession of the herd of swine. (Ps 50:10; Joh 7:29) The demons’ entering the swine manifested their ouster from the men in a very forceful way, thus also making very apparent to observers the harm that came to creatures of flesh that became demon possessed. It demonstrated for such human observers both Jesus’ power over the demons and demonic power over fleshly creatures. All of this may have suited Jesus’ purpose and may explain why he allowed the unclean spirits to enter the swine.

    Because the devils didn't want to be sent to hell, so they begged him to let them go into the pigs, which are considered by the Jews to be unclean animals. I think there is more to that passage then meets the eye though.

    From their limited understanding, it was either the herd of swine, or into the bottomless pit for them, so they requested to be sent into the pigs.

    Notice that the Biblical writers only said they were possessed of the devil. Noone actually saw any devil. It is just another case of the Bible writers claiming something that noone actually saw. Noone has ever seen the mythical devil or the mythical God.
