Did Raiden Vaporize Kintaro?

According to the Mortal Kombat Ultimate Guide CD, he was vaporized to dust by Raiden. The possibility however is more existent in the invasion than in the second tournament.  If Raiden challenged Kintaro, he would be violating the rules of Mortal Kombat and he was not the type to do so.  Although Shao Kahn intended the Outworld tournament to be a fake one, however, it wasn't in violation as the rules state that if Mortal Kombat is declared by either which realm, none can refuse the offer of a second tournament. Even if Shao Kahn used it as a distraction for his intrusion of Earth without winning ten victories.  

The real point is a possibility that he did vaporize Kintaro but at some point during the invasion. It's because Raiden vaporizing Kitnaro would be a VIOLATION of the sacred rules. I think Raiden would've still had a fraction of his power to defeat Kintaro. I think it'd be when the Shokans begin an assault AFTER the second tournament. Raiden may have vaporized Kintaro (along with others) befrore losing his powers.
