God Eater Project
Wang Yan approached the three of them and silently scrutinized them.
It was only then that Captain America, Winter Soldier, and Carter belatedly realized that they were not the only ones participating in the God Eater Project.
The twenty-odd people standing behind Wang Yan were all wearing uniforms similar to his.
While they were being scrutinized, they were also glancing at Wang Yan out of the corner of their eyes.
A general's epaulettes with four silver stars, a youthful appearance...
James Barnes' pupils contracted slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He instinctively straightened his back and stood at attention, like a soldier.
Agent Carter took two steps back, her golden curls brushing against her face, her beautiful eyes flashing with a complex light.
Her level of secrecy is quite high, and she has heard of some "special beings" who are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Genetic Mutation, unique drugs, cutting-edge technology ahead of its time...
In her opinion, the other person's real age might be much older than what they appear to be.
Steve Rogers was equally shocked, but his focus was completely different from that of his two companions.
After the Guardian Spirit appears and he gains the identity of "Partner of Justice," and moves forward with the goal of becoming "Guardian of Humanity," the world he sees becomes somewhat different from that of ordinary people.
Kind and good people have a faint white glow around them.
A cunning and wicked villain who has committed numerous evil deeds will have an unsettling black mist appear around his body.
And now, Wang Yan has appeared...
He was surrounded by a dense white light, and a dazzling golden light, almost tangible, condensed above his head.
Having never seen anything like this before, Steve lowered his head and quietly asked the ring, "Fourth Hokage?"
He had asked the Guardian Spirit's name, but only received this code name.
Namikaze Minato, who had transformed into Pocket Grandpa, immediately responded, "Those who have saved the world will receive the World Will's will, their luck will become very good, and they will also gain some special abilities."
Upon hearing this, Steve's expression remained unchanged, but his gaze towards Wang Yan held a newfound admiration.
He subconsciously imagined Wang Yan as an unsung hero, silently fighting against the evil invasion and saving the world.
Wang Yan read Captain America's superficial thoughts and almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He does indeed possess the World Will; in the terms of the Xianxia world, this is the "Golden Light of Merit" that repels all evil.
In the previous world, Wang Yan threw all the survivors of the apocalypse into the Reincarnation Space, and was thus recognized by the will of the Hokage World Will as having saved all of humanity in the Naruto World.
That's really foolish.
Flame God was gentle, but his tone was somewhat serious. "Steve, Carter, Bucky."
James Barnes felt a little awkward being addressed that way, but he did not protest.
He received Boy Scout training when he was young and places great importance on discipline.
Wang Yan ignored their reactions and said to himself, "You are the elite selected from hundreds of thousands of America soldiers. I want to ask you a question now, a question that concerns your future."
Upon hearing this, the three immediately perked up their ears and listened intently.
"You..."
Wang Yan's bad habit of speaking in a deep, drawn-out breath made the three of them secretly complain.
Do you have ideals?
They were all taken aback when the question was raised.
What the heck?
What I thought would be a serious political review turned into a heart-to-heart talk.
Steve Rogers was the first to react.
He shouted back, "I am a champion of justice! I will be the protector of humanity!"
After he finished reciting his "chuunibyou declaration," he noticed that Bucky and Carter were both looking at him with an indescribable, complex expression.
"Is there something wrong?" Steve asked back.
Having not yet been immersed in the complexities of society, he was rather naive and didn't feel embarrassed at all.
"Very good, you didn't lie. Congratulations on officially becoming a member of the God Eater Project!"
Wang Yan didn't press Bucky and Carter further, seemingly giving them time to think.
He turned around and faced the twenty-seven men and women who had been standing behind him. He casually pointed to a muscular, hairy man and said in a gentle tone, "Tell me about your ideals."
The burly man, who looked like a silverback Masira, hesitated for a moment before answering, "Defend America and defeat the evil Axis Powers!"
"Fart!"
After reading the other party's superficial thinking, Wang Yan's expression turned cold.
He rebuked him mercilessly. "You damned racist, you're a complete supporter of the CCP, a sympathizer of Hitler!"
"None of that matters. The most important thing is that you dared to call me a yellow-skinned monkey!"
The burly man's pupils instantly contracted to the size of wheat awns, and the muscles on his face twitched.
His face darkened, and he stubbornly protested, "Sir! I didn't insult you!"
You're cursing me in your heart!
Wang Yan stared at him expressionlessly and said in a deep voice, "Remove his non-commissioned officer status and expel him from the military."
Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped in shock.
That's domineering!
Carter and Bucky exchanged a quick glance, trying to keep their composure.
Even Steve Rogers, who had passed the first level, felt a slight chill on his fingertips and his palms began to sweat.
With such a domineering superior, life might not be easy from now on...
At Wang Yan's command, two heavily armed soldiers arrived in response.
They grabbed the burly man from both sides and dragged him out without the slightest hesitation.
"You have no right to fire me! I did nothing wrong! You yellow-skinned pig! You wait, I will take you to Military Court! You will be utterly disgraced!"
The burly man, sentenced to death, started cursing and swearing like a hothead.
He tried to resist, but found that his once-proud muscles were rapidly atrophying, leaving him with no strength and even making it difficult to walk.
In desperation, he wanted to spew a few more racist remarks to annoy Wang Yan.
However, to his horror, he discovered that his tongue had become stiff. It felt as if he had a piece of charcoal in his mouth, and he couldn't utter a single word.
"In fact, I have the qualifications and right to fire you."
"Besides, it doesn't matter if you can't speak, you'll never have to speak in your life."
Wang Yan turned around with a cold smile, not even glancing at his colleague, and casually pointed to a female soldier to step forward.
What are your ideals?
"I..."
The female soldier hesitated for a moment, then honestly replied, "Sir! My dream is to buy my parents a ranch after I retire from the army so they can live out their old age in peace!"
Wang Yan gave her an approving look and said admiringly, "Truth, you passed."
One by one, the soldiers were called out and questioned individually.
Who gets through and who doesn't seems to depend entirely on Wang Yan's mood.
Some people's flowery descriptions of golden lotuses blooming from the ground were dismissed with a single sentence.
Some people remained silent for a long time, unable to utter a single word, yet the verdict was still passed.
No one knows how Wang Yan made that judgment.
Except for himself.
Finally, Wang Yan's gaze fell on Carter and Bucky.
What are your ideals?
