In this chapter, the incarnates reveal that Caius isn't going to fight. He's just following his conscience. Caius asks why he's following Caius, and Caius says that he only wanted to help him. He doesn't know what Caius is thinking, and if they attack, many will die. He asks Caius if he can stop him, and he says he can't, since Caius's the closest person to his heart. He also tells Caius that the North is in a terrible state, and that he suspected it. He thanks Caius for agreeing to come see him, since the North was once persecuted as a "heretical nation." Caius tells him that the tanks and equipment are in perfect condition, but Caius still wants to know what's required to create a incarnate. He says that the only way to do this is to create the blood of the holy virgin. The holy virgin is the one who hears the voice of God, and she's been dead for a long time. She clings to the shape of the virgin, but nothing else.
