Meanwhile, life in the mortal planes went on, but this time under very different circumstances. Outworld is now a constitutional monarchy consisting of relatively independent vassal states - one for each of its once-conquered territories - all united under the leadership of their beloved rulers Kotal Kahn and Jade Kahnum. Among these vassal states is Edenia, governed by Kitana's parents, King Jerrod and Queen Sindel, whose deaths and brainwashing at the hands of Shao Kahn were undone. And in Earthrealm, four distinct factions - the Earthrealm Special Forces, the Lin Kuei, the Shirai Ryu, and the White Lotus Society - now stand united in defense of Earthrealm, led by Raiden who has once again been appointed protector of Earthrealm, this time without fear of being corrupted by Kronika's manipulations, while the deaths of a certain number of allies who had fallen during Kronika's wars - most notably Sonya Blade - have likewise been undone.
Of course, this new timeline is by no means perfect. Enemies such as the Black Dragon and the Brotherhood of Shadow now threaten the universe once again on a regular basis, their existences restored and even intertwined to an extent due to the chosen paths of certain beings. Most recently, Frost and Sektor conspired to instigate hatred between the Lin Kuei and the Shirai Ryu by kidnapping warriors from both clans, each time framing the other clan for the kidnappings; Lin Kuei Grandmasters Kuai Liang and Bi Han had both Frost and Sektor expelled from the Lin Kuei and arrested for their crimes, but by then Frost and Sektorhad already managed to convert several of the kidnapped warriors into their own cyber-ninja clan, the Tekunin, and later escaped Special Forces custody to finish work on the mysterious Triborg project. And in addition to all of this, the sands of time have occasionally attempted to resist the re-sculpting efforts of Liu Kang and Kitana, leading some to fear that Kronika's influence over the timeline may not yet be gone for good. Nevertheless, in this new timeline, all the realms have lived in a relative peace that has never before been heard of in any other timeline.
In addition, one other, relatively obscure threat has resurfaced as of late. ago, a mysterious all-female race known as the Kreeyans once threatened Earthrealm and Outworld alike, circumventing the laws of the elder gods by being openly invited into realms by their inhabitants, after which they would effectively take over these realms by swiftly overrunning the native populations to the point of extinction. In past timelines, the Kreeyans had eventually become extinct and effectively vanished from history due in part to extermination campaigns against them by Shao Kahn, but when Liu Kang and Kitana eliminated Shao Kahn from that point in history, the Kreeyan race was able to survive, albeit in a much weaker state than before and forced into hiding from those who know them, especially Raiden and the White Lotus Society in Earthrealm, as well as the forces of Kotal Kahn in Outworld.
On the other hand, the Lin Kuei and the Shirai Ryu are relatively unaware of the Kreeyan threat in comparison, and are both still considerably weakened due to Frost and Sektor's recent schemes, giving the Kreeyans a perfect niche to reinstate themselves in Earthrealm, in a time period in which their much-needed native mates have never been easier to come by.
