In the bedroom Coulson helped arrange for her, Nero was clattering away on a laptop.
There was quite a difference in operating this computer compared to those in the pirate world, but that wasn't an issue for Nero.

Now, half an hour later, there were few people in this world who understood computers better than she did.
Originally, Nero had consumed a considerable amount of energy when she arrived in this world, but the moment she descended, all of that consumption was replenished, with even some overflow.
The authority of depravity was still continuously rising; the life forms in this world were more than a hundred million times more numerous than in her original world.
Due to the unique nature of this world, her existence filled a certain void, and her own essence was undergoing a transformation.
Now, traversing worlds was no longer a problem for Nero. As for the financial issues that bothered her, she could easily go back and bring tons of gold and gems.
But His Majesty Nero couldn't bear such a loss of face. She had left with such confidence, only to return so quickly and sheepishly, all for a trivial matter like money. Where would that leave the golden empress's dignity?
So, Nero decided to try surviving in this world for a while first.
Life skills... get???
A small orange-red spark flickered in the air in the bedroom, then rapidly expanded into a circle. A bald woman stepped out from within.
Facing this uninvited guest, Nero stared at her curiously. The circle drawn by the sparks led to another space, somewhat similar to the Door-Door Fruit's ability.
"Who are you? State your name!"
"I am The Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme of this world. I greet His Majesty Nero! Please forgive my uninvited and presumptuous intrusion."
The Ancient One showed no pretense, bowing her head in greeting immediately.
She had to bow. The Dimensional Demon God before her possessed an incredibly high status.
The Ancient One had actually sensed Nero's arrival the moment she descended. After all, she, The Ancient One, was well-known in the circle of Dimensional Demon Gods.
Running to Earth without even a greeting? Don't you know who runs things here?
Coming in with your true form, pushing your way through, you probably haven't experienced the Sorcerer Supreme's beatdown.
Demon, I can tell at a glance you're not human. Eye of Agamotto, open!
Then she discovered that this Dimensional Demon God and the world were mutually attracted. Nero's existence filled a certain regulatory void in the universe.
And the moment she descended, she acquired the status of Satan, becoming fully localized and even issued a high-level resident ID card.
Furthermore, she was continuously evolving, directly approaching the Five Great Conceptual Creator Gods.
She, The Ancient One, worked for The Vishanti, and The Vishanti worked for The Entity of Eternity. Nero, in the future, would be on the same level as The Entity of Eternity.
So, what was there to fight?
Her direct superior, The Vishanti, would personally come and offer a cigarette, eagerly lighting it for her.
Mephisto and the Hell Lords had already made a quick getaway, fearing that this new Satan would demand the authority of hell from them.
Earth had never been so clean. Not a single clone of such Dimensional Demon Gods remained, only their power lingering in this world, secretly observing.
Thanos no longer had to worry about the universe's population explosion; the world had hired a professional from outside.
The Ancient One didn't even dare to raise her head, merely sighing internally that this timeline had indeed prospered.
Meanwhile, Nero, unaware of The Ancient One's rich inner monologue, only felt that this person had a very high demeanor.
Sorcerer Supreme... quite cool!
She seemed to lack a'Supreme' title herself.
She needed to choose a nickname carefully. She ruled a world; she couldn't let someone outdo her, could she?
"Hmm, I am Nero, Nero Claudius! The Tenth Emperor of Nicuss, controller of the sky, earth, and sea, and also the executor of the end."
Nero stood on the small bed. Without her dragon transformation, she was considerably shorter than The Ancient One, which she hoped would make her appear more authoritative.
"Oh, Sorcerer Supreme! What is the purpose of your visit?"
Hearing Nero's question, The Ancient One's eye twitched. What was I here for?
I was sitting comfortably at home, sipping tea and humming a tune, then I saw you interacting with those schemers at S.H.I.E.L.D. How could I not panic?
The plan for contact was directly moved up. The Ancient One intended to first get acquainted with Nero, and then later warn Nick Fury.
If real trouble arose, The Ancient One believed The Entity of Eternity would not hesitate to destroy this timeline.
"His Majesty Nero is new here and presumably not yet familiar with this place. I humbly ask His Majesty to grant me the opportunity to fulfill my duties as a host."
Hearing this, Nero sat cross-legged: "This world of yours is indeed quite strange. The weak control the world, while those of you with abilities hide away, considered characters from fairy tales."
"Regarding that, does His Majesty have any understanding of the universe and the multiverse?"
"The universe?" Nero blinked blankly. "So, you're saying there are aliens in your world? I thought the 'evil' aura here was too Rich; turns out it's a matter of quantity."
"Exactly." The Ancient One nodded, confirming Nero's guess.
Everyone lived on the same land, but not necessarily in the same world.
Of course, if technology developed to a certain point, there would be little difference between the two, but currently, Earth's technological level couldn't even achieve inter-universe travel.
Not to mention The Ancient One and her fellow mages, who usually faced Dimensional Demon Gods. Their technological level was only equivalent to their standard of living, with no strategic significance.
Missiles, firearms, tanks, and nuclear bombs were truly insignificant compared to profound magic.
"Then you should also know my essence, shouldn't you? My descent is the inevitable result of prosperity turning to decline. Most of the life in your world will eventually wither because of me."
Nero curiously peered at The Ancient One: "But you seem to somewhat welcome me?"
"Your appearance is part of a natural cycle. Life will not be destroyed because of you; this is the world's choice."
The Ancient One spoke with a sense of Zen, full of a master's profound wisdom.
"Where fire has scorched the earth, more abundant flowers will bloom in the coming year. Destruction is for better rebirth."
"Hmm, excellent, I am very pleased with you!" These words resonated deeply with Nero. She also didn't want to be seen as a harbinger of disaster, bringing death wherever she went.
"Then I shall accompany you on a tour. It's a bit late today, so tomorrow, you can give me a thorough introduction to this world."
"As you command, it is my honor." The Ancient One performed a standard mage's bow and then withdrew.
Outside, The Ancient One's mage-like demeanor vanished. She clenched her fists and stretched her wrists: "Nick Fury, I hope one night is enough to make you understand that not everyone in the world can be schemed against."
Nick Fury hadn't expected that before he could even go talk to Nero, the Sorcerer Supreme would come walking towards him, ready for a fight.
