Loki was a little stunned by Shiller's rapid topic change and said, "What? What skull?"

"Laufey's skull, do you know where it is?"

Loki opened his mouth and then, with a speechless look, stared at Shiller and said, "Is it really okay for you to ask like that? Could it be that you still have feelings for him?"

"I mean, if Laufey hadn't died, Odin couldn't have adopted me. When he adopted me, Laufey was already dead. How would I know where Laufey's skull is?"

"Have you not investigated later?"

"A skull isn't part of an estate, why would I investigate it?"

Then Loki thought for a moment and said, "But since it's the Father of All Gods who defeated Laufey, the skull should also be thrown into the warehouse by him, right? Why are you asking about this?"

"Are you sure it's in Asgard's warehouse?"

With Shiller saying this, Loki really got a little unsure. He took out his phone, sent a few messages, apparently instructing his subordinates to check the warehouse.

After just a few minutes, Loki frowned at the information on the screen and then looked at Shiller and said, "Do you know something?"

"That thing isn't in the warehouse, is it? Or let's say there's no record of it entering the warehouse at all. Odin didn't take the skull back then, but let it end up on Earth and finally got offered by Roxon Corporation to the Dark Elves."

Loki originally wanted to say something but suddenly showed an awkward expression and hesitated to say, "The Father of All Gods might not have done it intentionally either..."

"Of course, because back then you only regarded Midgard as a trash can and a place of exile."

"That's all in the past." Loki quickly changed the subject, saying, "But the skull of the King of Frost Giants isn't that easy to preserve either. You humans might touch it lightly and end up frozen into ice blocks."

"Yes, so this shows one thing. That is, Roxon Corporation indeed isn't completely led by humans. The person who picked up the skull back then wasn't human, and the one who handed it to the Dark Elves wasn't human either."

Loki immediately caught on and said, "Then no matter what deal the Dark Elves thought they reached with some human forces, it's invalid. Because an organization led by non-humans doesn't represent the human race at all."

"Exactly." Shiller nodded and said.

Shiller wanted to say something more but suddenly held back. Loki looked at him with some curiosity, and Shiller cleared his throat and said, "I am a superhero now, and I need to solve problems in a superhero way."

"Uh, what is the superhero way?"

"Of course, to catch the hidden mastermind behind the scenes of Roxon Corporation, give him a good beating, then toss him into some prison."

"Good idea. Do you know where he is?"

"I don't know, but I know what their company's vulnerability is. As long as we attack there, he will have to show up."

"Are you really planning to go through with this?" Loki asked, slightly furrowing his brow, "Although I didn't quite agree with your previous style of dragging everyone down, this kind of rashness might not necessarily be a better choice either."

"How would you know if you don't try?"

"Alright. That sentence is very 'superhero'. Next time, remember not to worry too much about the card at the door."

After speaking, Loki turned into a flash of magical brilliance and disappeared. Shiller had already arrived at the second-floor window, jumped down neatly, knocked out the patrolling Minotaur at the rear with the moonlight that froze his state, and sent him to Khonsu's Divine Country.

He similarly dealt with the remaining Minotaurs, and the Dark Elves inside the temple were essentially done for. At this moment, Stark's voice came through the earphone: "We've collected the evidence; how about your side?"

Shiller walked into the first-floor hall, looking at the slumped over Dark Elves, and said, "Basically all dealt with."

"Good, then make some commotion at headquarters to help us get away."

"Commotion? I'm afraid there won't be much commotion." Shiller crouched down to check the condition of one of the Dark Elves, which by human standards would be anaphylactic shock due to severe allergy. Without emergency measures within five minutes, it would mean dead elves.

Stark's tone noticeably changed, "What did you do?"

At that moment, a sudden noise of chaos came from the other end of the earphone, as if pursuers had arrived. Stark had no time to elaborate and engaged in battle with the enemy.

At this moment, JARVIS's voice appeared in the earphone, "Doctor, Wanda said she's taking the three kittens she adopted to get vaccinated this afternoon. Didn't you also adopt one? Want to take it together?"

"I was just going to tell you about this. I took the kitten to the pet hospital, but it absolutely refused to get vaccinated. Maybe it'd be better with Wanda. Where should I bring it to you?"

"Just to the corner of the street east of Central Station, where there's a Graffiti Cafe. Wait for us under the signpost."

"You're going to Manhattan's pet hospital?"

"That's right. Wanda said the pet hospital there is better at treating young animals. We're planning to go there... Sorry, sir, I forgot to turn off the communication channel. Go ahead, I'm listening."

After a while, Stark and Peter flew over. Seeing the temple still standing on the ground, both seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"I was really afraid it would be nothing but ruins when I got here," Peter said.

"You should be thankful that Jupiter's moon is still there," Stark said while flying.

The two saw Shiller on the second-floor balcony and flew over to stop. Shiller looked up and asked, "How did it go?"

"Of course, and we had an unexpected gain. We'll talk more at the base. What about here?"

Shiller said, "I cut off the energy center."

Stark and Peter exchanged a glance, both knowing the Dark Elves are allergic to solar radiation, and the lower-level Dark Elves don't have their own means of guarding against it. Once they lose the protection of the life support system, it means they are all doomed.

"What about the Minotaurs?" Peter asked with some concern, "We found out that these people can be transformed back. We've saved two and temporarily put them in the Life Support Pods, and we'll have to go pick them up later."

"In my Divine Country."

Stark, in his mecha, exaggeratedly mimicked Shiller's tone, while JARVIS said, "Shall I help you connect to the Moon Knight's communication channel again?"

"Better not," Stark immediately said.

The three flew towards Jupiter's moon. It's a rapidly frozen planet with low temperatures and an ice-covered surface. From a distance, Shiller could see a massive structure—certainly a human creation, completely different in style from the previous temple.

The post-modernist beehive-style architecture is predominantly gray-blue, blending seamlessly with the surface. From high altitude, it isn't very noticeable, only upon getting closer can one see its intricate structure.

"How did you find the teleportation portal?" Shiller asked.

"The defenses here are very tight, and the building materials used can block energy detection, probably to prevent anyone from spotting any unusual energy reactions from above. But it's precisely because the defenses are too tight that they revealed a flaw."

"I controlled these few mechas to attack from four directions, and people immediately came out to respond, but there was one direction that was slower to react. So I deduced that the energy response isolation in that direction must be particularly severe, otherwise, they wouldn't react so slowly even after the robots fired several shots. After discovering this, it was obvious that people went through more security procedures than elsewhere before coming out."

"The two of us sneaked in during the chaos outside, broke through the security blockade, and indeed found the teleportation portal at the end of the hallway opposite the main door."

As Stark described his breakthrough process, Shiller listened quietly. Although he didn't want to admit it, in terms of being a superhero, Iron Man was indeed quite exceptional.

His application of mecha is very flexible, not just using it as an attack or defense tool, but employs a quite scientific approach to battle, posing questions, contemplating them, then solving them.

For instance, when he noticed that such a large building hadn't any unusual energy reactions on the battlesuit's scan, he naturally posed a question as to why the opposition wanted to do this, thereby figuring out the answer that it's to obscure the energy reaction of the teleportation portal, to avoid being discovered by flying ships passing by.

Then posed another question, which is how to find the teleportation portal in a situation where its energy reaction direction couldn't be detected, and then figured out the answer is to inversely use the opponent's energy concealment, where the shielding is strongest, there is likely the direction where the teleportation portal is located.

"How did you overcome the security blockade?" Shiller asked again.

"I noticed that the text markers inside were in English, so I thought they might be using human software systems. So I found an interface, hacked into their internal network, and unlocked whatever could be unlocked," Peter said.

"For some parts of physical defenses that couldn't be unlocked, we used directional blasting to blow them open. Fortunately, they were understaffed, Iron Man used drones to delay their progression, and I seized the opportunity to set up explosives, breaking through successfully, though we encountered a little trouble on the way back."

"What trouble?"

"They transferred the Guards to the room with the teleportation portal, blocked us in, and a few of them turned into Minotaurs. The room was a bit small, and we couldn't move around freely there. We almost got hit."

Shiller realized that this was likely the source of the chaos he heard through the earphones earlier. The Minotaurs had rushed into their room, pushing them into a corner.

Before Shiller could ask more, Peter said, "But I found that these monsters, although infinitely strong, have no IQ and are extremely irritable, and will follow me if I tease them casually."

"So I deliberately led them to charge into the crowd, those guards feared being trampled to death, fled in panic, and in the chaos, no one cared about each other, and we took advantage of the situation to slip away."

Shiller found that Peter's thinking was similar to Stark's, both were about solving problems when encountered, and this was clearly normal logical thinking.

But Shiller's thinking wasn't like that; more accurately, he had that kind of thinking, but he didn't often use it.

When he encountered problems, the first thing he thought about wasn't how to solve this one problem, but thought, since there's already this problem, what other problems might there be.

Stark and Peter thought deeply in a straight line, tackling one problem at a time, solving issues one by one, and most normal people were like this.

Shiller, on the other hand, immediately began to diverge, from one problem to another, then from another to more problems, each problem being a different point.

Subsequently, he began thinking deeply about these problems simultaneously, forming various lines from these points.

During the thinking process, he strived to optimize the threads. For example, a problem could be solved straightforwardly and effectively, but if another method could simultaneously partly solve another problem, Shiller would choose the latter method.

Among the various stages of multiple problems, he found intersecting nodes, sought a multi-faceted optimal solution for these nodes, and executed the optimal solution by balancing the order of these problems' eruptions, ultimately resolving all issues in one go.
