Ermac carried out missions for the emperor and in one of his missions in the Netherrealm, Ermac became acquainted with Shujinko, an Earthrealm warrior that roamed the realms on a quest to find the ancient Kamidogu. Ermac taught Shujinko his own abilities in return for the help Shujinko gave him. Ermac was in the Netherrealm to slay a demon, but the Netherrealm drained Ermac's power and only the Soul Stone could stop this process. Shujinko found and brought the stone to Ermac who thanked him for his help and offered himself to train Shujinko. Later on, Ermac was assaulted by Ashrah who believed him to be a demon, but he parried her attack easily. Ermac participated in the invasion of Earthrealm. However, after Shao Kahn's defeat and subsequent loss of power, Ermac remained under Kahn's control and wandered Outworld without instructions. During the events of Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, the wandering Ermac was found by the blind swordsman Kenshi and was freed from Kahn's control. To show his gratitude, Ermac taught Kenshi the "Telekinetic Slam" technique. Ermac's new found freedom meant he was also free to choose his own destiny. He decided to repent his earlier ways and became a force for good. After making this decision, he met a warrior soul who, like Kenshi, understood his suffering. This warrior soul was that of Liu Kang and was not only in need of another ally, but assistance in freeing his enslaved comrades. Ermac was eager to help Liu Kang, as this was an opportunity to help him atone for the evil he had committed in Shao Kahn's name. Ermac decided to help Kang and the two would set out to free the Mortal Kombat champion's allies (Jax Briggs, Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, Kitana, and Kung Lao) from Onaga's control. They are eventually successful in their pursuit. Later on, Ermac joined the Forces of Light in the battle of Armageddon, where he swiftly incapacitated if not killed Rain when the battle began. However, during the battle, he disappeared for a short time, allowing Shang Tsung to take his place. Ermac was later shown to be among those who eventually died.
