The Devil is not mentioned. And the first paragraph merely cites the fabric of the world being torn and illogical horrors seeping through. Which means that she could be from distant Pamaltela as far as anybody knows.
And the all important statement about Larnste seeking to stamp her out because she's a chaos horror begins "It is thought...".

Storm Bull fought a lot of people in the Good Old Days including one Orlanth.

So do the Seven Mothers and Nysalor. But I think she seeks to bring Chaos under her control rather a Chaotic Goddess.

A skill dependent on a Moorcockian battle between Law and Chaos, which is not gloranthan. Undoubtedly the skill exists in some form or another but I wouldn't read too much into the RQII version.
