The advance party gradually encountered other races and experienced attacks similar to those by the Winged Cats.
After subduing these races, the advance party discovered they all attacked humans for similar reasons.
"If humanity's uncivilized behavior isn't stopped, it will incur divine wrath."
This reasoning drove these races to attack humans.
The advance party also discovered that the races attacking their ships were mostly weaker ones, who found it harder to suppress their rage.
They theorized this was related to their level of civilization.
The advance party also encountered some friendly races, which confirmed their theory.
The more primitive a race, the more they fixated on the morality of "actions," imposing their own values on others and believing unquestioningly in "divine wrath."
After traveling through the Sea of Creation for some time, the advance party had gained a more detailed understanding of the region.
