Gao looked towards Raiden. "So, she's dead now. As I understand it, this makes Shao Kahn closer to conquering the world." He frowned. "It doesn't look good. But I"m curious, what would happen, specifically, if there was some kind of a draw and both rivals die? Such a thing could easily happen with so many master warriors in one place." he watched with sadness as the samurai woman died to deny the enemy the honor of slaying her. "You know, ever since I learned Gaun Yu was my father, things have been going insanely weird. I'm frankly surprised that I'm not being spoken to by inanimate objects and animals by now. Wouldn't it be a good idea to just assassinate this Shao Kahn guy rather than just waste our time fighting in this Tournament?"
