After Titan Shang Tsung leaves, the other Shang Tsung would think : "Wow...what an asshole! Was I really such an asshole in another reality?" And Lui Kang would simply reply "yes."
In a way this ploy was mildly impressive. What better mask to wear, than the face of someone you’d easily assume dead, because technically they are. A deception within a truth.
f the devil is the Father of lies then Shang is the son. This man doesn’t have a honest bone in his body. He can’t be trusted in any time line. What’s so crazy is that Shang had to disguise his self as Kronika just for Shang to trust him. Shang not trusting another Shang. So, I don’t understand how can anybody else trust him.
