Several hours later...
Aleksandr's POV
The sun shone high in the sky as Alek walked through Emerald City's shopping district buying both items to maintain his equipment as well as various snacks to feed to his pets.
As there were many preparations to be made before they began to execute their plans to antagonize the three Empires the others were to preoccupied to follow him around.
And as such this was one of the exceedingly rare occasions where he was allowed the freedom to venture out in public with minimal companions.
Of course there was no way he could completely do away with security when taking into consideration of the fact that the Empire's themselves were also making moves in the shadows.
As such both Kit and Thomas, the personal guards assigned to him at birth, were tailing him from a distance away while several of his Sentinels had taken on Physical form and remained nearby, and his pet fox Ereskigal who was mounted on his head, was much more vigilant than usual.
Ereshkigal was a Nine-tailed Omni-Color Fox Empress who similarly to him was a Deity Class Being with a Disater Rank of Cataclysm.
She was gifted to him by his uncle when he was young and became his first Contracted Pet.
She was one of his three most powerful pets, capable of unimaginable power.
As the time passed Alek eventually arrived at his final stop, The Repository a store specializing and selling crafting materials of high value.
Emerald City city was the sole city contained within the Emerald Forest which covered approximately one fourth of the Pandora Continent and was mostly untamed and unexplored.
As such several tens of millions of adventures visited the city on a weekly basis and several millions treated as their permanent residence.
The Repository was a preiemer shop within the city and pulled in revenue rivaling that of Superpowers.
In fact it was a branch of a Hegemonic Power which existed and thrived in a different Realm
As soon as he entered the store, one of the associates behind the counter recognized him and inquired with a bright expression, "Good afternoon Alek, what can we get for you today?"
"Hello Dominic, last we spoke you mention that the block of Solar Gold and World Tree sapling I requested would come in yesterday. Do you have them?"
"Why yes I do."
"Excellent. Now I believe the price we discussed was 1 million 500 thousand Immortal grade coins."
"Correct."
"Phenomenal" Alek spoke as he pulled out his HALO to intimate the transfer of funds to the Repository's account.
Dominic confirmed the payment and then removed the items Alek had requested from his Stasis Ring.
Alek collected the items and swiftly left the establishment before heading back to the Inn.
As he did so his Sentinels and Personal Guards followed close behind.
On his way back he took note of a few additional tails who didn't belong to his group and mentally contacted one of his personal guards "Kit, do me a favor and handle the four gentlemen following us. Take Thomas with you and return as soon as possible."
"We'll take care of it. On the off chance that this is diversion stay vigilant." Kit responded.
"I know." Alek said motioning for his Sentinels to come closer and prepare themselves for a confrontation.
Those with him numbered 5 of his current six.
All six of which served as some of the Hashira within the Divine Order.
They were namely Sigmund, Alice, Arthur, Byleth, and Morgana.

Seeing them adjusting their formation, Kit and Thomas focused their attention on the four tails.
They were in groups of two and followed Alek from a few hundred meters behind on his left and right.
Kit and Thomas further cloaked their presences respectively and approached then pairs individually.
Once they got sufficiently close they teleported to the two groups.
They then placed their palms on the backs of their targets back and teleported both them and their charges to the depths of the Emerald Forest.
All six individuals arrived at a small clearing surrounding a lake surrounded by massive trees with numerous creatures either grazing or drinking from the lake.

The four individuals were wearing dark cloaks and had their weapons drawn.
They had sensed themselves being made by Alek.
They had noticed Alek's Sentinels shift formation.
They had even felt Kit and Thomas begin to approach them.
But it had all happened to fast for them to properly react, even with their extensive training, ungodly reaction speed, and extremely high physical abilities.
Leaving them with only the ability to prepare their weapons as they were forcefully teleported away from the city.
But once again things didn't go their way.
As soon as they arrived both Kit and Thomas, the two Hundreds of Thousands year old Primordial Dragons, stopped suppressing themselves and released their auras.
Thus revealing themselves to be individuals Half Extinction Disater Rankings, capable of ending countless lives and destroying vast stretches of land with a mere gesture.
They then both moved into action, Kit sealing the surrounding enviornment to prevent both escape through spatial manipulation and external influence as he removed his spear from his Stasis Ring, and Thomas withdrawing his twin swords from his own ring swiftly decapitating the two.
In the same moment the two brought over by Kit turn and launched assaults against him.
He easily parried their attacks and thrust his spear forward and gaze it a twist.
Piercing one of them through the heart and shattering their body into pieces with his overwhelming strength.
He then simply opened his mouth and launched a dragon breath which vaporized the other.
The two then put away their weapons and shared a glance.
And just like, four beings capable of incomprehensible power were ended swiftly, without even being grabted the ability to properly defend themselves.
"Lower to Mid level of the Realm Grade. All four of them. A little to underwhelming no? Considering the identity of their target?" Kit spoke.
"For sure." Thomas agreed before asking with an inquisitive expression, "Why, do you think? Is it possible this group was only meant to track him why the gather more forces? Or could this have been a diversion?"
"Either scenario is possible. But regardless these four have been neautralized." Kit responded after a bit of thought.
"Fair enough. Either way, we'd better return to Alek's side just incase it's the latter." Thomas stated as Kit removed the isolation barrier.
The two then teleported back to the city and retook their positions behind Alek's group.
***
Alek took note of the two's return but refrained from asking them about the exchange as he was assured by their identities that the situation was handled summarily.
Kit and Thomas were twin brothers belonging to Aiden and Kai's family.
Being several generations the latter pairs senior as well as the younger brothers of said pairs great grandfather.
All three planes of existence abided by the Balance of Chaos and Order.
Said balance found its source in the two Foundational Concepts Destruction and Creation.
From the intersection of these two sprout the Pillars of Reality Space and Time.
From the intersection of these two flow the Colors of Reality, or Elements, namely; Life, Death, Light, Darkness, Water, Fire, Earth, and Air in all their respective and imaginable forms.
And from the mixing of these base colors are made the various Sub and Higher Order Colors such as Fate, Nature, Annihilation ect.
Kit and Thomas like most, if not all, of their family were Primordial Dragons of phenomenal power, with control of either Space and Time, if not both, aswell as greater affinity for just about every color and the foundational concept of Destruction.
The family was renowned for many things, but first and foremost was their battle prowess.
Not only that. Kit and Thomas were exemplary amongst their family. Capable of feats few before them had managed to accomplish. Chief amongst their achievements being half a step away from reaching the Extinction Rank aswell as their mastery of all forms of combat.
This is wherein Alek's assurance lied.
It lied in terms of both their Bloodline, and their sheer might, which less than 100 of the Trillions of individuals in the world of Sumeria could match or exceed.
