Badock's scepticism turned to outright disbelief.
"That's absurd," the Wizard Lord snapped. "The Chaos God is a myth, a cautionary tale told to scare novice wizards into avoiding dangerous experiments. There is no credible evidence to suggest such an entity ever existed, let alone that it could be resurrected. There are tales or myths of old times, belonging to an era we don't know."
The Minister's gaze hardened. "I would not bring this to the meeting if I thought it baseless. The Serpents believe in the Chaos God—that much is certain. And their actions align disturbingly well with ancient accounts of rituals tied to chaos deities. The Archaic Citadel, where the ritual is supposed to be conducted, exists. If they've found it, they may also have access to knowledge we thought lost."
