User blog comment:Azeruth/How Does Shao Kahn Survive?/@comment-3472671-20110428081846

LMFAO I was wondering the same thing! XD

However, we should not take Shao Kahn lightly. Yes, Onaga is the Dragon King but, the emperor isn't known as "Shao Kahn the Konqueror" for nothing. My guess is he defeated Onaga and came back in time to face Raiden just as he thought he had won and saved the realms from Armageddon
