About

I Must Consult With the Elder Gods is a quote by Raiden in Mortal Kombat 11 which was used as a reaction image following the game's release in April of 2019.

Origin

Mortal Kombat 11 released on April 23rd, 2019. In a game's cutscene, Raiden announces "I must consult with the elder gods" before teleporting away (shown below, left). The line itself may have become a meme because Raiden had said variations of it multiple times in previous Mortal Kombat games (compilation shown below, right).
