Remind me again, did this manga ever say why the alpha thot has a fetish for breaking up groups or not?

There are some problems with this adaptaion of the story. A lot of context and side perspectives are lost or just glossed over. Which is understandable, but the Web Novel goes almost neck deep with world building and shows off plenty of perspectives so you really get a strong feeling of the major characters, what they're all about, etc etc. I'm glad this manga exists, but at times it does feel like a shallow experience compared to the source material. Certain details are also added, removed, or changed, like the Side Chapter where Alda begins introspecting on his battle against Vida's Races and the Evil Gods, showing that he does have some regrets with how he handled things with Vida and thinks he could have reasoned with her before she began creating new races left and right, but still believes he was ultimately just in acting the way he did. It was also when he began contemplating how to properly communicate with his followers in a way to focus their attention on the Evil Gods rather than Vida's races, since the former was at the time much more problematic. But that was just around the time Van broke the soul in Ice Age, affecting the God who created it and diverting Alda and his faction to the possible return of the Demon King.

Events with the Scylla showed that even Vida worshippers are not all innocent. And many other events show that there are good people who worship Alda too. Van is an exception, but most humans in Lambda can only get a vague idea of what the Gods and Goddesses they worship want, because the Gods can't always effectively communicate with their followers, if their followers are even capable of following their teachings correctly.
The reason Heinz wants to kill Van was actually after the Demon King briefly resurrected only to be defeated and eaten by Van. DK claimed he would eventually resurrect by possessing Van, but only Heinz took those words seriously. For Van and everyone that knows him and what he's capable of, the Demon King's last words were the hollow threats of a sore loser.

And the vampires you're taking about? They betrayed Vida's Faction after the war with Alda and pledged their service and loyalty to a degenerate Evil God whose teachings revolved around the strong torturing the weak for shits and giggles. And this Evil God wasn't one that converted to Vida's side. He just saw a chance to steal some of Vida's children and messed with them to his own liking because that was what he was about. At no point was this Evil God an ally to Vida.

And idk where you got the idea Alda doesn't hate monsters. To him, every monster and Evil God have tainted and poisoned Lambda ever since they arrived, and their continued existence continues to do so. To return the world into its "pure" state, they all have to die. Not one single exception. The single major god of that world is basically Hitler. The most he does is concede that they aren't inherantly evil, but even the good ones are not worth sparing. and his ultimate justification for a 100,000 year campaign of genicide is "we already killed a whole lot of them, we can't just change our minds now because its disrespectful to the one we've already killed so we have to keep going".

The arc you're thinking of is during the fight between Van and Heinz in the Trial of Bellwood. That battle ended with Van essentially breaking himself in a failed attempt to deal a killing blow to Heinz, who managed to survive because his soul had been ejected from the fake body he was in. Vida/Darcia entered shortly afterward to retrieve Van's fragments and prepared to leave until Heinz called out for her. She explained that while she could forgive him for her death, she would never forgive him for the anguish he causes Van and declairs him as her mortal enemy. Then she takes a bit of frustration out on him and the dwarf by "killing" them, but the Trial put Heinz and his party in fake bodies so they didn't actually die. It was hardly a major, full on battle. But it did cement the idea that for all his talk of peaceful relations with Vida's Races, the goddess herself refuses to accept him in any capacity, giving the entire party the "Vida's Mortal Enemy" Title.

Shortly before the battle, while Van was buying time figuring out the limits of his fake body in the dungeon, Van called out the entire party for their indescriminate slaughter of Ghouls, Majins, and the like. The two newbies actually express guilt at learning that Ghouls were Races birthed by Vida, and how the Adventurer's Guild teaches everyone to kill them down to the last pregnant woman and child. Heinz just goes "I thought that was probably the case" and Edgar's response was "it's not a crime, why you mad bro?" Van admits he can't speak for every single Ghoul or Majin, but he asks if these central figures of a religious faction advicating for peace between all the Races if they at least TRIED to talk with and reason with them before killing them just because "they were paid to".

One thing Van makes clear is that he absolutely despises the idea of "forgiving others because their sins are outweighed by the good they've done and will do after". He accepts that hatred is a normal response when someone else kills a person important to you. He doesn't think he should be forgiven by the friends and families of everyone he kills who hate him because of it. To him, it's fully their right to decide on their own whether they want to forgive or hate him. Heinz, however, eventually "forgave himself" for killing Darcia. He acknowledges that it was a terrible thing he did, and tells himself he will do better. One he "forgives" himself for what he did, he refuses to accept the idea that the actual victims of his crime should hate him.

The problem is that Heinz, who would be the token hero protagonist in most other generic fantasy anime and manga series, at his core doesnt want to actually be a better person. he just wants to be seen as one. Someone who stood up against an injust system and works to improve it.

But the Peaceful Faction, that he is a central figure of, only wants the bare minimum they can get for any of Vida's Races, namely the ones without Ranks (those descended from monsters or Evil Gods). As pretty as the words on the paper sound, in practice they would be just barely above slaves and outcasts, but they will always be a distance second to Humanity (humans, elves, and dwarves).

Shit is about to go down in that Duchy, and at least one other. When Heinz confronts Van in the future, he'll mention just how "terrible" things were for the humans because of it all while outright ignoring Van's criticisms of the Peaceful Faction's lack of any meaningful accomplishments towards their goal and for the injustices carried out on past and present victims who are members of Vida's Races.

Heinz currently enjoys a very good image in the Orbaume Kingdom as an adventurer who fled the Amid Kingdom due to Darcia's death. However, that reputation is based on the idea that he "saw a Dark Elf mother of a Dhampir burned to death and was powerless to stop it". He knows this is a blatant lie, and tells himself and his companions how he feels "uncomfortable" with it, but not once has he ever made any attempt to correct this assumption.

That little girl with him and his party? They claim they love her like a little sister, but that doesn't stop Heinz from using her as bait to draw out other Alda worshippers against the peaceful faction and then convert them.

Heinz has MANY flaws, not the least of them being his own desire to be seen as a great hero, and the things he's done and will keep doing whenever its convenient for him. Even when given a chance to learn from and grow from his mistakes, he ignores it altogether because "he's the Hero, he can't be wrong, right?"

I guess.

See you in 10 years? Maybe then they'll finish this fight?

There'd have to be a LOT of variations in Human Zoan-type Fruits, but of the three we legit know of only one is the basic model and the other two are Mythicals. And all five look relatively normal-looking in their usual appearance to be using that many variations.
