The rule is, if any realm wins 10 consecutive Mortal Kombat tournaments then they can take control of the opposite realm and conquer it. If there is any attempt to deny the result of the tournament then the team will be punished by the Elder Gods.

But, that’s not it. Shao kahn has a secret. He uses a dirty tactic to force sudden death, a single combat against him to conquer the world. There are also other characters including immortal dragon king, battle robots, undead warriors, warring ninja clans and a “soulnado”.

According to the release of Mortal Kombat 2011, at the beginning of game, Raiden, the god of thunder and Shao Kahn were the last two fighters standing in the game. When the Shao Kahn was just about to throw a killing move on Raiden, the thunder god sent a message to his past self that Shao Kahn needed to win the tournament.

Thus, Raiden of the past allowed Shao Kahn to win. On this, the Elder gods punished the Emperor for cheating and conquering without winning the 10 consecutive tournaments. This scenario led to Mortal Kombat X.
