I Have Been Waiting for You

The Penance Stare was one of Ghost Rider's most terrifying abilities.

It could burn a target's soul directly, forcing them to feel all the pain their crimes had inflicted on their victims throughout their life!

For any creature with a soul, it was practically a killing blow!

Dark red light enveloped A2.

But...

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

A2 remained standing quietly where she was, her long silver hair stirring slightly in the surging energy.

Her cold eyes did not change. She even tilted her head, as though puzzled.

The Penance Stare had no effect?!

Had she never done anything wrong in her entire life?

It was the aura of someone who had spent years on the battlefield.

And after years of battle, her hands had to be stained with blood.

Whether or not she had done anything else wrong, she had certainly killed plenty of people!

Wait!

A machine?!
