Attack Potency: Large Country level (Capable of atomizing the whole academia alongside the island it's on, from another dimension hidden within a rift in reality at the top of Chateau d'If without assuming his Ultharathotep form), can ignore conventional durability with Sekime | Small Planet level (Is hundreds of millions of times stronger, the scale of his Cracking was boosted to the point that it covered the area of the entire planet, and was continually expanding), can ignore conventional durability with Sekime and Grotesque Demonic Hand

Standard Equipment: The Bell of Gahkthun, multiple bodies and terminals, Sekime
Intelligence: Genius level intellect. He invented the Kreuz Circuit at some point in his life, said Circuit is capable of making its user be immortal and physically enhanced (the Circuit uses Cracking to modify the user’s body, so they automatically gain the Sekime).

Weaknesses: He can act arrogant sometimes, otherwise none notable.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Gaze of the Rose: An attack used through the Sekime, which allows the Golden King to annihilate anything in his line of sight, or in the range of his Cracking Field, reducing the target to mere particles. It also works against beings beyond the laws of physics and essentially just a phenomenon, such as Critters. When used against Nightingale, the instant she became conscious of his gaze, her critters had died hundreds of deaths in her place. As such the gaze can atomize and kill hundreds of beings in an instant such as critters which are supernatural phenomenon that are above the laws of physics and can exist only as possibilities. The gaze was further strengthened in his Ultharathotep form to the point that it was hundreds of millions of times stronger than before.
- Grotesque Demonic Hand: Through the power of his multiple Golden Eyes and his Sekime, Rosenkreuz can manifest multiple hand-like branches from his body and all over his Cracking Field. These branches are capable of erasing both the physical and metaphysical, the real and the illusory and breaking through time and space. This nature allows this attack to annihilate anything it hits without fail, as it damages reality itself. It nullifies all defenses and, due to exceeding time, is completely instantaneous, making evasion useless. While the basic principle on how it works is different from the Wrath King's "The Arm of the King that Shatters All of Creation", both attacks achieve the same thing.
- Cracking: Also known as Phenomenon Equation. A form of “scientific formula” that was officially invented by Archduke Astaire (Tick Tock Man planted the idea into his mind, and Cracking’s power comes from him) that’s capable of warping reality to achieve a variety of effects. The effect it could achieve varies from just simply heating a mechanical arm to the point it could melt the human body instantly, all the way to shaping the laws of reality as the user sees fit, and also controlling and warping the laws of physics.
- Art: In the time the Bell of Gahkthun is undergoing its maturation process, Rosenkreuz granted many students of the academy with a more limited form of his Cracking in the form of Arts. Known Arts as seen in the series are as follows:
- Colors from Beyond: An Art that summons an immaterial mass of color from another dimension that passively erodes the mind of anyone that sees it. The color is also capable of breaking the mind of someone with a direct physical touch in addition to possessing a rotting property that affects whatever object it hits.
- Calculate: An Art which breaks down every tiny bit of info the user's senses register and lets the user's brain completely analyze it.
- Manipulate: An Art which lets the user control and manipulate any biological body with human form. This Art can do things like forcing others to do certain movements and manipulates brain cells.
- Operate: An Art that lets the user control any machinery that has the form of a human or close to it.
- Accelerate: An Art which can be used to increase the speed of an object to insane lengths.
