According to
the game, the Nexus was created by the Elder Gods
to aid their chosen champion in his defense of
the realms. The Nexus itself consists of a circular
plane bordered by torch pillars that float amongst
the clouds in an unknown place. It is rumored
that the clouds are meant to suggest that it is
located in the Heavens, being it that it was created
by the Elder Gods, but such has not been confirmed
by Midway Games. The only thing present in the
Nexus is an altar to the Elder Gods (with spaces
to place each of the Kamidogu and the Amulet of
Power).
The only entrances/exits in the Nexus are a
series of six portals, which only open when
the appropriate kamidogu are available and placed
on the altar. The portal to Earthrealm is available
when the Earthrealm Kamidogu is obtained, and
when the Earthrealm Kamidogu is placed on the
altar, the Netherrealm is revealed. After the
Kamidogu from the Netherrealm is obtained and
placed on the altar, the Chaosrealm is opened.
The Chaosrealm Kamidogu unlock's the Outworld,
which in turn will unlock the Orderrealm and
Edenia when the appropriate Kamidogu are obtained
and placed on the altar.
It is said in the game that when all 6 Kamidogu
and the Amulet are placed on the altar, the
Kamidogu will be transported to the presence
of the Elder Gods. Unfortunately, in the video
game, once all of the Kamidogu are collected,
Onaga appears and steals them, preventing the
player from discovering whether this is true
or not. Onaga's words suggest that the Kamidogu
would not be able to be transported to the Elder
Gods unless one had the Amulet, which is not
available for collecting during Konquest mode.
It is suggested that only the Champion of the
Elder Gods would be capable of accessing and
utilizing the Nexus for easy transportation
between the realms, but this is apparently not
the case. As per Deception's storyline, Scorpion
is deemed the true champion of the Elder Gods,
but Shujinko, Monster, and Onaga all prove capable
of entering the Nexus during Konquest mode.
