These events would set in motion her plan to fix the time flow, creating a New Era and leading consequentially to the past merging with the present.Īccording to Raiden, as the Keeper of Time, Kronika is the only one capable of tampering with the forces of time to the point of present and past to collide, and also states that she has restarted the timeline many times in order to find perfection. She is also the creator of the immortal artificial construct Geras, a being with the ability to manipulate time on a much smaller scale than Kronika while also wielding power over the Sands of Time, forging rock and stone weapons while using powerful Knuckle Dusters to pummel his opponents into submission.ĭue to Raiden's new brutal policy in crushing potential evil forces that threaten Earthrealm, with its apex at the beheading of her own son, Shinnok, she sees it as an imbalance between the forces of good and evil and seeks to force equilibrium by erasing the timeline and rewriting a new one from the very beginning. She is the Keeper of Time, Architect of the Destiny of the Universe and mother of Shinnok, the Elder God of Death and Corruption, and Cetrion, the Elder Goddess of Life and Virtue.
