Meanwhile, having used the law of trickery to alter how his existence appeared, Lucifer casually strolled through the palace of gold, passing by the guardian Einherjars and heading straight for the innermost part—the garden.
Most palaces were centred around the King's Court or the Throne Room, but not this one.
He moved past a group of Valkyries who didn't even perceive his existence as he went by, making his way toward the artificial moat encircling the garden at the heart of the palace.
'Those Valkyries are strong. Looks like they learned from last time's mistake,' he thought, briefly assessing their power before shaking his head.
'But it's pointless. If Loki wants to get in here, only Heimdall would notice him. Even Freya's magic would struggle to detect him.'
With a single jump, Lucifer crossed the lake and entered the garden, which brimmed with flora and fauna from various universes.
