For example, when exploring the temple, he would not focus solely on exploring the temple. He would consider the Dark Elves' conspiracy, Roxxon Corporation's next move, Asgard's reaction, the countermeasures the superheroes might find, and so on.
If he were merely sitting in an office thinking about these things, he could sort them all out in no time. Then, as usual, he could suddenly skip the next logical step and carry out operations no one else could understand.
In truth, those operations were not without a pattern. They were the points where solutions to numerous problems converged. Because they involved too many different matters, observers could not see the whole picture and naturally found his actions baffling.
But if he had to use linear thinking to solve one problem while also considering several others, finding where their solutions intersected, and then calculating the optimal answer, the computational load would grow exponentially.
Because he personally participated in solving a problem, its circumstances would constantly change. And once that problem changed, all the other nodes had to change with it.
Originally, if Schiller had not come, Stark and Peter definitely would not have chosen to kill every Dark Elf in the temple on Europa. It was not because they were kind-hearted; they simply would not have wasted time there. They would have taken the evidence and withdrawn.
Then the damage they caused would have been concentrated near the portal, meaning Roxxon Corporation would have suffered the greater losses. The Dark Elves, meanwhile, would have been largely unaffected.
And Schiller, who should have been sitting in an office, ought to have inferred this from Stark and Peter's results. Then he could have deduced that Roxxon would certainly use those losses to bargain with the Dark Elves. As long as he created a little
