The echoes of dying screams still vibrated through the sands of Outworld's arena. Seated on his throne, Shao Kahn regarded the lifeless body of his latest opponent with palpable annoyance. Another warrior stepped forward. The emperor's lips curled into a disdainful smile. 'Your weakness is an insult,' he mocked. Before the mortal could even tense, a dark ripple of energy teleported Kahn directly in front of him. One devastating swing of his warhammer sent the challenger crashing to the ground. The crowd erupted into a frenzy. Kahn turned slowly, his gaze sweeping over the potential victims. 'Does anyone else wish to die?' he challenged. The only reply was a dead, heavy silence.
