Well he is committing to the part 100% as we see nothing but a few brief moments with people really close to him break his acting job. Once deciding to be Demon Emperor he is the Demon Emperor and he likely felt any weakness he showed, any sympathetic cracks in the armor you might say, would lead to thoughts of doubt or become so slippery slope that would F up the plan.
Not to say he was right in being an ass, but with proper examination of his insights into ZR, we could have had a proper explanation to why he felt he had no choice but to be an ass.
