Mortal Kombat: Deception is the sequel to Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance released for the GameCube in 2004. Like the previous game, it features the Konquest mode, although expanded greatly from Deadly Alliance, as it features elements of open-world exploration. Said mode is set before the events of the main game, and follows the life of Shujinko, who needs to collect the Kamidogu from the various realms in order to return them to the Nexus, so that they can be returned to the Elder Gods. The game also features a Chess Kombat mode and a Puzzle Kombat mode.

KusogeMan and SJ return the Kamidogu to the Nexus in record time, abusing an out-of-bounds glitch involving interrupting the door entering animation with movement and a conversation.
