.....

No matter what, Roger now had the true location of the Reality Stone. His next stop was the Celestial's tomb, to continue searching for clues about Andrea.

"I'm taking the Reality Stone with me. You don't mind, do you?" Roger asked the Collector before leaving Knowhere.

It wasn't as if Roger wanted to swipe the Reality Stone, at this point, the stone had embedded itself into his body, becoming a part of him.

Until he could find a way to remove it from his body, there was no way he could return the stone to the Collector.

"No objections. None at all," the Collector replied, still under the influence of the Mind Stone.

Satisfied, Roger patted him on the shoulder, grabbing a spaceship from his collection, and prepared to contact Captain Marvel.

After all, Captain Marvel had brought him to Knowhere, so it was only fair to notify her before leaving.

Fortunately, Carol had given Roger her contact information before she left. With an interstellar ship, he could easily reach her. Not long after, Roger initiated the call.

Boom, BOOM!

As soon as the line connected, Roger heard explosive sounds on Carol's end.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Carol? I hope I'm not...interrupting?"

"If by interrupting, you mean calling while I'm in the middle of fighting Ronan... then yes, you are very much interrupting, !"

A heavy crash sounded through the line, and Roger could practically picture Carol being smashed away by one of Ronan's brutal swings.

He cringed slightly and said, "Sorry. I assumed you'd be done by now."

"Done?!"

Roger heard a clattering sound, as if Carol was pulling herself out of rubble, and then her voice cut in, "Did you really think that someone wielding an Infinity Stone would be that easy to defeat?!"

Fair point.

Each Infinity Stone embodies a universal principle, and wielding even one instantly elevates a person to the top ranks of the cosmos.

But if Roger remembered correctly, in the original storyline, Ronan was distracted by the Guardians of the Galaxy, and they managed to seize the Power Stone from him... So why was Carol struggling this much?

After considering it, Roger suspected that his presence, an unplanned element, had inadvertently complicated things. The difficulty spike was likely his fault.

Awkwardly, he said to Carol, who seemed to be taking quite a beating on the other end, "...Hang in there. I'll be right over."

"Get here as fast as you can!"

Carol cut the line abruptly. Realizing he couldn't afford any more delays, Roger activated the spaceship's warp drive, setting his course for Xandar.

After several wormhole jumps, Roger arrived in Xandar's orbit.

Upon exiting the last jump, he saw the Nova Corps locked in battle with Ronan's fleet, and below them, Carol's shining form clashing against a purple figure.

Using his enhanced vision, Roger zoomed in to see that the purple figure was Ronan.

Somehow, Ronan had mastered the Power Stone's energy, which enveloped him as he wielded it through his weapon, going blow-for-blow with Captain Marvel.
