How to "bypass" the gateway?

Question

Computer networks

I am now most likely to be booed for a stupid question, but still:
Is it possible to somehow bypass the network gateway?
For example, there are two computers in different networks, 1 and 2. Com 1 (192.168.0.2) sends data to computer 2. Since they are in different networks, all data flow goes to the gateway computer 1, let the gateway (router) be 192.168.0.1 . That is, the data does not go directly, as it would be in a local network. The data goes to 192.168.0.2 ---> 192.168.0.1 ---> and so on...
Is it possible to drop the gateway somehow and transfer data to a direct computer 2 located in another network? If this is not possible, are there any alternatives? And did I freely understand that when the cable is directly connected to the computer (that is, without a router), the computer itself becomes a gateway? That is, both the ip and the gateway of the computer will be the same.

Oh, why, we’re not some kind of animals here ... (hiding our claws and stroking the fur ...) They’ll just send Oliferov to read :)
