As for not knowing and it potentially being too late... eh, I think it's safe to say, even if you are the most powerful thing to exist in all worlds and instances, that at the very least there is something that can be done.... because none of us are in the worlds our visions take place in. Which means any powers are alien to this world and so more likely to be susceptible to interferences from other sources, even if those sources are far weaker and normally wouldn't be able to do anything.
So, even if in that world no one was able to prevent things from happening because of the power the you there had, it is much more likely others can now also help you control it in ways you simply couldn't even help yourself back there because of being here now.

[ He steps back after a few moments, wiping his eyes. ]
- There was someone I thought would help because he's always talked like he can do anything and he pretty firmly said he thought in this case he wouldn't be able to - [ His mouth twitches. ] I thought that was crazy before.

Well, Death as a cosmic entity... my guess is the significance of such a thing is that Death as a cosmic entity comes for all things: even the universe itself will eventually die, right? That's what we're taught in science. So even without seeing the vision, Death is an extremely powerful force that nothing escapes or can win against. So your vision self's fight with Death, even if it's a bit more wild and magical than the textbooks, is very telling of the power wielded.
However, we already know here death can come for all things but not win even once it sinks its claws in. You can view it however you live, of course, but if I was in your shoes and I was searching for some comfort and some hope that I have chance for things to be different, I would definitely find that comforting in the sense that my powers would be more regulated here.
It's not a given, I know. My vision self is dying, for example. He insists that I'll die just the same as him when the time comes, no matter what this world has decreed on the matter of death for people like us. But, it is a little comforting to me to think there's a chance it won't work like it does in the world my visions take place in.
Because we don't know, it's too easy to take that unknown as scary rather than hopefully. But, you can approach it with cautious optimism.
[ A small pause. ] You can also just go toss that ring off the boat, of course— I'm assuming that's the only reason you would run off with it, anyway.
But then, maybe it will fall into the wrong hand or even end up in yours again at the worst possible time. So maybe, if you want to get rid of it for now... put it in a drawer in your desk and don't open it for now?
[Unless you're considered the direct opposite of the cosmic entity of Death and are known as a creator of worlds and destined to become the sentient life force of the universe one day. Thanks, comics!]
[ It's a lot and he listens even if he wants to argue, even if his thoughts had never once been What does facing Death and being able to stumble her have to mean for me?. His thoughts are solely on how his mind can twist things and that's - scarier. It makes him more dangerous. ]
[ It makes him take a small step back and swallow it back. Shake his head. ]
I would have entrusted this to someone, like, last week but the person I'd trust to watch it has been - [ a beat. ] I've been trying to embrace it instead.
[ Tries not to linger on it instead stabs on: ] What do you mean he insists it'll be the same?
[ well he's welcome to. Sam tried?! No one said he's actually good at preventing people from making bad decisions versus making them want to do the things even more. ]

He was pretty confident until he saw the fight with Death vision.
Re: DAY 268; early afternoon
A fight with Death personified or?
Re: DAY 268; early afternoon
Like Death, the cosmic entity over the entire universe.
Re: DAY 268; early afternoon
[ he's trying here!! Like for starters: could you punch it in the face or not? ]

Eh. I guess he means I'll still die from it even though we can't die.
