This is only an impression.

Taven did win the battle against Blaze. But after his victory, his armour didn't kill the kombatants, but mastered their powers. After this, he became God of Edenia, because whatever. Once again, this proves that Armageddon has no prevention, because the powered kombatants kept the battle until their very deaths, and Shao Kahn and Raiden were the only ones to be still alive (except Shinnok and Taven, who weren't there anymore, and we don't know how Kahn escaped Onaga).

By killing Raiden, Shao Kahn became the ultimate kombatant and he was as powered than the others by the armor of Taven. That yellow glowing was not in vain, that could be a manifestation of the One Being, because after killing Raiden, if there were no time changes, he would certainly defy the Elder Gods himself.

About these two things:

1. Raiden amulet was cracked because it was a glimpse into the past from his future self about how his life ended, not Armageddon. The cracks were corresponding his prediction of how he died, because he died at the peak of Armageddon. He just changed the way things were going to follow to the same Armageddon, but this time, other inevitable results will lead to the apocalypse. That's why Shinnok appeared anyway, because he will invade anyway, and Onaga is acting behind the scenes for his return, Daegon exists and therefore Blaze. Raiden only have the impression that he prevented Armageddon, but in fact, he changed the way it happened.

2. Armageddon was set 10 years after MK3 but it's not a certain date. It happened 10 years after because only after a decade that Taven was awaken by Orin, because only after that time the critical point has been reached.

Without Shang Tsung, there may be no Deadly Alliance. Without DA, Quan Chi never escaped from the Netherrealm, or was never sent, or maybe never had the chance to discover the ancient runestones of the Dragon King's Army. So, this will delay many things, impossible to reach Armageddon in only 10 years.

Also, Raiden is aware of Shujinko and his messing up. If Raiden prevents Shujinko from completing his quest, there will be another delay. If they beat the Red Dragon clan, there will be another delay. So, it's possible that the critical point may be reached some time longer.

About Boon, of course it will be an original story, but as I speculated on the other message, this is no matter of reboot, there are side events that keep happening just like before and trend to make kombatants grow and the realms to be unstable, there is no escape from a prophecy, unless they mess with incoherence.

And remember, the reality is the counciousness of the One Being, it will only succeed when all the realms are together, and this is Armageddon, because it is the end of the world for the Elder Gods.
