Upgrading the Elder Gods, the One Being and Probably Some Others

Introductio

In this thread i will be covering the power of the the Elder Gods and the One Being with the arguments i have proposed to Dark649. So let's begin.


From Kai's Armageddon ending: https://youtu.be/Ytz8FLjeW9w

"The power of Blaze opened Kai's mind, and he became psychically linked to the One Being. He could see the One Being's dreams, from which all of reality is formed. In deep meditation, Kai allowed his mind to wander the realms in search of knowledge. He witnessed the rise of Shao Kahn and his eventual demise at the hand of Liu Kang, the return of the Dragon King and the final battle at the pyramid. But when Kai looked to the future, he saw nothing."

From Deception's Konquest Mode: https://youtu.be/6am9z-H2M8I

1:56 All of existence is merely the dreams of the one Being.

Again from Deception's Konquest Mode (Shared this scan in my other accounts) :https://youtu.be/b6hzjIElg3w 4:20-4:36 Onaga's avatar literally views realms as lower planes of existence and exists in a higher dimension, he needs to descend in order to come in contact with Shujinko.

Yet, along with everything else, that plane is a part of One Being's dreams. Logically transcending it all.


https://youtu.be/lERlufXjIO4 1:24:38-1:24:56 Before the defeat of the One Being, space and time were non existent. Elder Gods fought the One Being in the Timeless Void. This shows us two things: Elder Gods are capable of moving beyond the flow of time (Obviously) and One Being's dreams make up a 4 Dimensional Structure that is the Existence.

Combine the fact that the Mortal Kombat has some Higher Planes of Existence and a shared space-time with all of the inferior realms, One Being's Dreams or Consciousness (Depends on how you view it) making up the entirety of existence, should place him at Low 2-C. Elder Gods should scale for being able to fight him for a while.

Some notes:
1.If a structure such as Time (A major aspect of a Space-Time continuum) was a part of All of Existence, Space, another major aspect of a space-time continuum which coexists with time itself, indeed falls under his Dreams.

2.Some aspects of the verse got retconned, but we can't say that the powerlevels of these characters got retconned too, it's fallacious to do so as it will fall under Hasty Generalization.

3.Kamidogu in the new Timeline may not be as potent as the ones in the Old Timeline in terms of Reality Warping, but they too participated in the defeat of the One Being and have his essence.

4.While it's true that most realms share the same Time, together, they make up a single massive Space-Time continuum.
5.Realms are not only planet sized. Earthrealm for instance, has shown to contain Several Stars, a Moon and a Sun in it. http://www.mortalkombatwarehouse.com/mkt/arenas/#thepit64

Hell, in Shaolin Monks (A Spinoff game, a retelling of MK2 you could say) the Netherrealm was stated to be Infinite in size by an Experienced Sub-Zero who has been searching for his brother in Netherrealm for a long time (and obtained knowledge about that dimension while doing so). http://youtu.be/gVhaX3C9cW0 51:50

Events of the Shaolin Monks are not canon to the main continuity for sure, but what happened in that story does not mean that everything in SM is not canon to the main continuity. For instance, the Cosmology which has not been contradicted by the main continuity. Netherrealm and the Heavens are not even your regular realms.

Yes, i am aware of the fact that John Vogel said that they are only planet sized and in some cases that they were portrayed to be planet sized. The Definition of the Realms were originally intended to be Dimensions and the Planets inside them.

Fin.
 
Aha. Well, I personally think that this seems fine, so if Dark649 accepts it, so do I.
 
Zer00Negativo said:
Yeah. Raiden fused with the Elder Gods should be at Low 2-C too. Shao Kahn during his fight with Elder God Raiden was hinted to be amped by the One Being + He was able to match Elder God Raiden.

Hell, even Blaze can scale.

Directly from his Ending in Armageddon: https://youtu.be/N-3ugF0WR8E

-During his ages-long quest to monitor the realms, Blaze had been enslaved by Onaga's holy men and forced to guard the great dragon egg.
The spell used to control him corrupted his original design.
When his final objective atop the pyramid came to pass, he was unstoppable and defeated all who challenged him.
As forseen by the sorceress Delia, Armageddon began in the Edenian crater and spread throughout the realms, shattering reality until there was nothing.-


Endings may not be canon, but this specific ending right here, as supported by the lore itself, has shown us what would have happened if Blaze won. He nuked the entirety of the Existence and reduced it into nothingness, destroying the space-time. Only reason this didn't happen was because Taven was able to stop him from doing so.

Dark649 agreed with these upgrades in the discussion we had in his message wall, i am waiting for the others.
I said i'm ok with 3-A to Low 2-C for One Being and Elder Gods [Combined, not individually and i feel i'm stretching that], but i disagree with anything higher than 5-B for the other characters. The destruction of reality is a chain reaction, and Raiden was not Low 2-C against Shao Kahn, who was not amped by the One Being. The other stuff was told in my wall, like retcons and etc.
 
If I remember correctly Raiden has a 3-B made in the comics, but I do not know if they are canonical, then it would not be a shock Raiden and Shao Kahn low 2-C.
 
I'm very knowledgeble about MK and i do not recall any 3-B feats from Raiden.
 
1.Stretching? I disagree, since i have explained why this goes beyond the scale of 3A.

2.About Raiden's tiering: He was literally fused with all of the Elder Gods, beings who should be Low 2-C as i have explained.

3.One Being literally uses the likes of Onaga and Shao Kahn to regain it's position back. It was stated in Deception's Konquest Mode too. https://youtu.be/6am9z-H2M8I 1:44 This explains how Onaga was more powerful than he ever was when he returned from the dead and some other things.

4.What about the retcons? I would really appreciate if you could repost your thoughts on the retcons here.
 
Matthew has a good point in that this would be a massive contradiction in the story. Dreams cannot physically hurt a dreamer.
 
Antvasima said:
I have explained above why that's not the case.

-Elder Gods predate the existence though. They were in the void even before the One Being's dreams formed the existence.
The Elder Gods didn't even kill him, they just overpowered him and put him in a sleep like state.-

 
So Low 2-C True Form characters, Elder Gods and One Being? Hmm it's not too implausible (I'll come back with more to say later)
 
@Matthew

What do you think of Dark649's suggestion?
 
I think Low 2-C for One Being and Combined Elder Gods is fine. Not for individual Elder Gods who are consistently depicted as planetary in scale.
 
Okay. We seem to have reached an agreement then.
