The afternoon was arranged by The Ancient One, and the two left the small island to arrive at the S.H.I.E.L.D. containment facility.
"This place will be renamed S.H.I.E.L.D. in the future, and even later it will have the nickname Hydra."
In the Mirror Dimension, The Ancient One introduced Nero to the world's power divisions and some strange artifacts.
"This is the Cosmic Cube, once a collectible of the Asgardian King Odin, and the container for the Space Stone.
Because the gem inside possesses nearly infinite energy, it has been studied by scientists for centuries after it drifted to Earth."
"That is vibranium, do you know Captain America? His shield is specially made from this metal, and although there isn't much here, Wakanda in Africa has a huge ore vein that hasn't been fully excavated in a hundred years."
"Wakanda appears to be a backward agricultural country on the surface, but in reality, its scientific technology is far ahead of the outside world.
Their secrecy is very good; in the eyes of outsiders, they… um… are like a large tribe."
The two continued walking, The Ancient One's introduction was very detailed, and the power divisions here were much more complex than on the high seas.
"That is Captain America; he should have died seventy years ago, but clearly, he still has an unfulfilled mission."
Nero curiously looked at this hero, famous throughout America; he was punching a sandbag, his strength not particularly strong, just a bit better than an ordinary person.
Then The Ancient One opened a portal, and the two arrived at other places.
"This is a Hydra branch…"
"That girl, Wanda Maximoff, a user of Chaos Magic, will become a hero in the future, but due to some of her own experiences, she will cause quite a few problems."
The Ancient One had a headache when she mentioned this; she saw that in a considerable number of timelines, Wanda would cause some irreparable damage.
"Next to her is Wanda's brother, Pietro Maximoff, who has less than two years to live, so I won't go into detail."
"…" Nero was speechless at The Ancient One's hasty introduction: "Didn't you say there would be many possibilities in the future? How does he only have two years to live? Did he get some incurable disease?"
"No, it's just that in ninety percent of future timelines, he will die due to various accidents." The Ancient One shook her head and stepped back.
"Did he offend the creator of your world? Or did he forget to add luck points when he was born?"
Nero also quickly stepped back two steps upon hearing this; it's best not to touch unlucky things: "Next place!"
The Ancient One opened the portal again, and this time they arrived at a dirty cave.
Here, a man with a small beard and a small old man wearing glasses were busy blacksmithing.
The small-bearded man also had a large box connected to his chest, looking disheveled and comical.
"What about these two people? What's special about them? I see they both look like they're about to die; they're not unlucky people too, are they?"
In the Mirror Dimension, Nero didn't approach rashly this time; she instinctively wanted to go to the next place with two dirty old men.
"This person is Tony Stark, a man cursed by knowledge." The Ancient One raised her chin, pointing to the small-bearded man who was blacksmithing.
"Cursed by knowledge? Then he…" Nero pointed to her own head, and her gaze towards Tony Stark also carried pity.
This should be one of those mentally challenged people who were tricked into mining, no wonder he looked like he wouldn't live much longer.
"He doesn't have an intellectual problem." Seeing Nero misunderstand, The Ancient One quickly explained: "On the contrary, he is very intelligent; overly advanced wisdom is also a disaster.
Seeing too far makes him anxious and out of place with those around him."
"Hmm, I get it, he's a lowlife who can foresee the future, right?" Nero summarized precisely.
"No… uh… well, in a sense, that's not wrong." The Ancient One subconsciously wanted to refute, but after considering it from Nero's perspective, she found that her understanding was not problematic.
"So what else is special about him? When it comes to genius, no life in the world is more genius than me." Nero glanced at Tony Stark: "Being in such a state, this guy's intelligence must be very limited, right? Hurry to the next place!"
"He is one of the world's wealthiest magnates; Stark Industries is his."
"Hmm, but then again, I also feel sorry for him; let's save him casually."
Nero's tone suddenly changed, her eyes sparkling as she looked at The Ancient One: "Hey, if I save him, will he leave all his money to me if he dies later?"
"Later…" The Ancient One was speechless; "later" was too soon, you should at least cover it up; your intention is too obvious; I didn't feel a single thought of saving him!
After such a long time of observation and interaction, The Ancient One also realized that Nero was still willing to follow the rules of this world.
Otherwise, S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't have been able to invite this great deity back, and she would also pay for things properly, although she used her own card.
But what demands can you make of Satan? It's already good that he's willing to follow the rules; even The Entity of Eternity has given up this timeline for Nero to use as a playground.
As long as this timeline doesn't twist into something like a Lostbelt, then even if Nero destroys all life, there will be no trouble.
I heard the great deities are currently discussing whether to kick Galactus out of the Five Great Creation Gods; that guy seems to have been beaten up somewhere again.
Nero's new concept not only perfectly supplements the rules but also adds more gravitas.
Thinking of this, The Ancient One's gaze towards Nero deepened with three parts of doting; the position of a Creation God, the universe's creation from nothing, this is the first time.
"Then let's start saving Tony… Tony Chopper!" Nero raised her hand and pointed at Tony Stark.
The Ancient One instantly had black lines all over her head; did you not even remember his name?
But she didn't refute; she waved her hand, dispelling the Mirror Dimension.
In the narrow cave, two great beauties with different temperaments suddenly appeared.
Tony Stark paused his blacksmithing, rubbed his eyes, and looked at his chest.
"Hey, brother Yinsen, I think I've developed a problem; I see two beautiful women… Damn it! I clearly prefer the mature and voluptuous type… Have even my sexual preferences split?"
Mature but not voluptuous, voluptuous but not mature, Tony Stark was certain that if the two could combine, they would absolutely be his favorite type.
But there couldn't possibly be two beautiful women in the cave; those kidnappers outside weren't that kind-hearted.
So, had his injuries finally affected his nerves?
He turned to look at Yinsen, finding him also staring blankly in the direction of the two women: "Tony, I think this isn't an illusion, or else we both experienced the same illusion at the same time."
Tony Stark: "…"
