Godhood Unlocked: I Choose Sci-Magic Dual Cultivation

It looked as though a demolition crew had just barged in and set off explosives.

"Th-this... what happened?" Jane was at a loss.

"Do you remember that red substance that entered your body just now?"

"I remember you said it was called Aether..."

"That's right. It's inside your body now."

"So... does that mean I've gained superpowers?" Jane asked innocently.

"No. Superpowers are generally controllable. Can you control it now?" Dane shook his head.

Of course Jane could not. She could only feel the Aether flowing through her veins, but she had no way to command it.

"You want the Aether?"

Jane was smart and quickly realized why Dane had appeared here.

Still, she hesitated. She did not know whether Dane really was with Umbrella, as he claimed. He looked more like a rich young heir
