In my MK:war of the worlds story, I applied the yin-yang philosophy into my One-Being bio. Was it coincidence, or did you read mine first? Interesting theory you got there. by the way.

Well, being a mystical-magical being, I do think that he has a profound sense of things. It's a nice concept, but I think such a plot would be giving Vogel too much credit.

But I do think its a possibility that if Onaga is destroyed, the One Being might try to work through Ermac.

I wouldn't blame them, Ermac is the best choice by far

No I didn't read your One Being bio (I'll have to check it out) but I'm glad you like my idea.

and KaizuDragon, I don't give the credit to Vogel it was probably an accident on his part. LOL

In the end I just hope this One Being thing doesn't kill Ermac off, or make Ermac its slave or something.

Ermac wouldn't be killed off so easily

I think his Deception ending just might elevate him to hero status come next game.

Ermac would be even more powerful if that theory is true Asmo, just my opinion.If Ermac was one soul, i might say that there's a possibility, however he's a legion of souls, if the One Being can control Ermac(a man of many souls) then i'd hate to see what the actual one being is.


And also, Ermac is good now, i think it would be kind of pointless to wind up making him "The One Being" or something.

And if he is or is a part of "The One Being" then why would he have helped save The Chosen Warriors in Deception?

I think thats a good question.

If anything i think Raiden might have something to do with this One Being, not Ermac.

Perhaps this One Being is a Evil Elder God, i'm surprised nobody has ever brought that up.

Or what about Shinnok???He's an elder God, he's evil??You never know.

Oooops! When I said that Ermac was looking like the emodiment of the One Being, I didn't mean that he would be taken over by it. What I meant was that he wields the same type of power that it does.

If the One Being ever gained enough power and was able to return to the phsyical realm, right now, it looks like Ermac might be the only one to stand against him...other than Scorpion.

The One Being isn't an Elder God. It fed off of the Elder Gods and Shinnok is not the One Being.

I think the One Being is actually an invisible force that was around when all of the realms were still one. It would probably have an avatar to keep itself known in the physical realm though. It would have to be someone with great power though.

I think the One Being is just another excuse for a future boss to be bigger than what we have. I mean who's a greater threat than Kahn? supposed to be Shinnok, and who's bigger than him well at least equal to him and Kahn, DA who did in fact kill the chosen warriors. Now who's bigger than them Onaga right? Well now we got the One Being. I do not think the One Being will be the next boss, but when the story is unravelled some more there will be more to it than just the One Being drained the Elder Gods.

If Ermac is connected to the One being then prehaps they are more akin to the Architect and the Oracle in the matrix , where one is created to balance the other out or something rather than being a direct connection, like the embodiment of the One being.

Again i take back what I said, I just realized something.

Kahn created Ermac while he was under the influence of the One Being. The One Being could have manipulated Ermac's creation for what reasons I have no clue but it has a lot of story potential.

Maybe Ermac will be confronted by the One Being and taken over.
Maybe he won't have a choice to help or not.

Kahn didn't create Ermac, he controlled Ermac, Ermac is a fusion of souls created by sorcery man.

Alot of people think that Kahn actually made Ermac from scratch, thats not true.Shao Kahn controlled him in UMK3/MKT,and took possession of the souls that make Ermac Ermac.Just a little side note Asmo.

And i know that Shinnok is most likey not the one being, i'm just saying.Perhaps.Who knows??

I'd be very surprised if Ermac has anything to do with the One Being.


And The Chosen Warriors aren't dead, for the guy who said they were.They would have been if it weren't for Ermac freeing them in Deception.

Read Ermac's MKD bio. it say clear a day that Kahn created him.

I agree with near every point. In IGN and Gamespot interviews, Boon himself said that Shao Kahn was supposed to be the main boss of it all. But then came Shinnok, who (I think) is stronger than Shao Kahn.

Then what could be a greater threat than Shinnok other than a Deadly Alliance of two powerful sorcerors? And what could top that but the Dragon King himself?

For MK7, I think it'll be hard for them to top the Dragon King. I don't think the One Being would be anything you could play against, so there'll probably be a new character, or a return of older ones as the boss.

As for Ermac, like I said before, I don't think him sensing anything will elevate him to hero status, even though he's got my vote.

But what about this......the One Being does need an avatar to control, right? A being of immense power in the physical world. Possibly he could begin to take control of Ermac, as he's a fusion of souls, and begin to fuse more and more souls within him until he becomes a massive threat, even greater than Onaga.

It never says Kahn created Ermac from stratch, every diehard Ermac fan knows this.Kahn controlled Ermac, he didn't create Ermac per se.

Ermac is a fusion of souls from outworld warriors, kahn took possession of these souls and used them to fight for his tyranny.

I agree, man

Wait a minute man, i see whats up here, lol.We are talking about two entirely different bios lol.

I'm talking about his first bio back to UMK3, where it clearly never says that he was created by kahn himself.

In his Deception Bio, it says that he was created by Kahn and that he's a fusion of souls of outworld warriors.

Then he has his alternate bio with the Lui kang and The Chosen Warriors and such.


Just a little misunderstanding there Asmo, i was referring to his old school UMK3/MKT bio.

It would have been cool if Ermac willed himself into existence or was created from the realms themselves. That could have led to an interesting story with lots of twist and turns.

But like I said before, Kahn's construction of Ermac COULD be a direct result of the manipulation from the One Being.

Who knows, i'm not seeing that though, the only way i think that theory might be true is if Ermac is being controlled now as we speak into making everyone around him believe that he's good and really not.

Still it's a good form of speculation on your part Asmo, but i'm not seeing Ermac having anything to do with The One Being.


I think Shao Kahn will play a role as will Dark Raiden now in MK7 who knows what if they are both the One Being and nobody knows it, think about it Kahn and Raiden are both back and Changed a bit from the way they once were.


A little.

Maybe Ermac does play a bigger part in all of this than even he knows..He is a fusion of MANY souls..maybe one of those souls is the One Being..and in his ending, it says that Ermac could sense something the others could not sense..something bigger than all of them..maybe the One Being, bidding his time, has seen the chance to return? possibly to physical form? maybe even have possesed Ermac?

That's not possible. The realms are the shattered consciousness of the One Being, therefore, it can't be contained within an individual unless reality was unmade by someone. Ermac is a fusion of many souls from Outworld and in his MKD ending, it reveals that Ermac can sense the One Being's presence and that it was EVERYWHERE.

If the One Being possesed Ermac, Ermac would've been on the more evil side.

The One Being doesn't control anything, it manupulates things in a very, very subtle way.

Ermac has just recently gained his own identity. He is like someone who has just awaken from a very, very vivid dream. Ermac is likely confused as to how the world works and is looking for answers. I'll explain.

Since the beginning of Ermac's existence, he's be been a slave to Kahn's will, accually less than a slave. Ermac is a golem, given life by Kahn himself. Unable to think on his own and with no ambition or will. While in this state, Ermac was commanded to commit many atrocities.

When he and Kenshi crossed paths, Kenshi used his powers to free Ermac's mind and awaken his identity. Ermac was then able to think for himself and make his own choices. He remembers Kahn and the evils that he stood for while under his command. It was also at this point that Ermac could sense the ominous force within the realms (re-read Ermac's MKD bio #2).

He meets Liu and chooses to help him because he felt as if liu understood his plight. Liu's soul had been used as a tool of destuction by Shang Tsung, similar to the way Kahn used Ermac.

*side note: Remember, at this point, Ermac's goal is NOT to stop the Dragon King from fusing the kamidogu. Onaga has taken over the bodies of Liu's freind and is using them for his own purposes...like Kahn did to him. His goal is to help free them.*

After helping liu, Ermac again senses the strange force he was feeling ealier. This is speculation on my part, but what if he gets those answers and finds out the truth...that he is part of a greater whole.

On another note, the One Being may not be evil. Everyone has assumed that it is because Kahn and Onaga are, but the One Being has only one goal and that is to restore itself. Why is that evil? A lion isnt' bad because it hunts the weak, that's just the law of the land. From my perspective, the One Being is like a animal living out its natual existance. It manipulated the creation of the Outworld to further it's goal, but did it tell Kahn to torture and kill billions of people? Onaga probably found out about the Kamidogu from the One Being, but did it tell him to violate Liu's friends?

Kahn and Onaga are power hunger warlord who care nothing for others. Can you say that about the One Being?
