The Watcher had no intention of keeping Roger longer than necessary. After asking Roger once again to save the world, he sent him back to the zombie-infested world he had originally come from.

Time in the zombie world had remained unchanged since Roger left. To Vision, it seemed as if Roger had merely vanished and reappeared in an instant, leaving him puzzled.

Vision, with a myriad of questions on his mind, tilted his head and began to speak, but Roger stopped him before he could ask anything. Instead, Roger turned to the window, where Captain Marvel was engaged in battle with Thor, and said to Vision, "Let's begin."

"Alright, but the energy from all six Infinity Stones combined is immense. I can only fulfill one wish," Vision replied.

"What do you mean?" asked Roger.

"Earth's crisis is currently the zombies, but if what you said earlier is true, then Thanos will attack Earth afterward..." Vision expressed his concern.

The Earth was already facing the zombie crisis, and now it had to contend with Thanos. However, the Infinity Stones could only fulfill a single wish.

Vision needed to eliminate Thanos' army as well if he wanted to fully resolve Earth's crisis. However, his body wasn't capable of harnessing the energy of all the Infinity Stones twice. In fact, even Ultron couldn't handle such power.

In the original story, Ultron appeared to use the Infinity Stones without limitation, but upon closer inspection, it was clear he never used all six stones simultaneously. Like Thanos, he only used one stone at a time in battle. Using all six stones at once came with a significant cost, and even Ultron, a powerful entity in the multiverse, couldn't avoid injury. Vision, naturally, couldn't escape this cost either.

However, Vision's information was outdated. Thanos was no longer a threat to this world.

Roger patted Vision on the shoulder and said, "Just do what you need to. Don't worry about Thanos."

"Huh?" Vision was confused.

Roger pointed to the Infinity Stones on his chest and smiled, "Otherwise, how do you think I got these stones?"

Vision quickly understood Roger's meaning. He nodded at Roger and, without further hesitation, began to link the energies of all the Infinity Stones.

Multicolored lights flowed over Vision's body. The energy of each Infinity Stone wrapped around him like a dense web, intertwining and entangling him.

The pain from channeling such immense energy caused Vision to cry out.

The others aboard the aircraft gathered around, watching anxiously as Vision tapped into the power of the Infinity Stones.

Roger wasn't particularly worried about Vision. He had received a definitive answer from the Watcher.

Because of Roger's arrival, the original grim fate of the Avengers had been averted. Originally, the Avengers' journey to Wakanda was a death mission, they would likely have been killed by Thanos or, if lucky, barely escaped with the Mind Stone. But the zombification of the universe was inevitable.

However, Roger's presence had reversed the Avengers' fate, erasing the original dark ending. This was why the Watcher had chosen Roger. He believed Roger could save the multiverse because Roger had the potential to be a hero.

Or rather, for the zombie universe, he already was a hero, one who couldn't be replaced or criticized.

Only Roger himself knew that he wasn't truly a hero.
