"I've been expecting you. Your life, your name. They will be wiped from history! Come, it is time to die!"

Kronika is the main antagonist of the 2019 video game Mortal Kombat 11.

Biography
Kronika is the keeper of time. She has overseen hundreds of timelines and planned their armageddon. She had two children, Shinnok and Cetrion. She mentioned that she is a member of a enigmatic ancient race of cosmic entities called the Titans. Because Raiden installed a new plan to deal with Earthrealm's enemies, and after the decapitation of her son, she believes the forces of good and evil have became unbalanced, and wishes to erase the timeline to create a more perfect one. Due to her plans, both past and present versions of characters have began to meet each other, due to both time points merging.

If Raiden is to be trusted, Kronika is the only character who is able to manipulate time, and she restarted the universe many times to find a perfect version.

Appearance
Kronika has a similar body to a human woman, having a bald head covered by a gold plate and having blue eyes. She wears a white, gold, and blue armored dress. She also dons a helmet with all the souls Shang Tsung ever consumed.

Personality
A tyrant and a perfectionist, Kronika is very manipulative, manipulating time over and over trying to make a perfect timeline. Having a calm attitude, she manages to convince several characters to join her side for the promise of giving them perfect lives when she reboots time. However, Kronika is lying to her pawns, and is also very cruel, causing most of the bad events in the series and is willing to destroy anyone who doesn't follow orders or becomes dangerous. Disliking lower beings due to their habit of changing history in ways she doesn't want, she loathes Raiden and sees Liu Kang as either a tool or a threat.

Power and Abilities
Being able to manipulate time and space itself, Kronika is arguably the most powerful character in Mortal Kombat. Using her time manipulation, she can stop, slow down, speed up, and rewind time to those around those, erase people from existence, summon multiple versions of people across time, fusingtwo points in space-time, and being able to rewrite time. Dwarfing the Elder Gods in power, Kronika is also able to manipulate sand and attack with it, such as turning it into powerful glass weapons or raining it down on her foes. She can also transform into sand or energy to avoid attacks. She can also psychically manipulate others, summon warriors to fight for her, commanding animals, and raining fireballs. She can also can not be attacked by a Fatal Blow. However, her power requires sources to use, such as the Jinsei or Shang Tsung's crown.
