Ludwig Van Rosenkranz's powers and abilities

Gloria Virtutem Tamquam Umbra Sequitur

(Glory Follows Bravery as if It Were Its Shadow) Methuselah creates a passive barrier that takes any attack, regardless of magnitude and be it physical, mental or otherwise, and reflects it back at the opponent through a source of darkness, the attack not losing any of its power.

Magna Voluisse Magnum

(Great Ones Have Wished for Greatness) Methuselah manipulates the shadows to darken the skies as far as the eyes can see, where he then sends it crashing down on whatever it hits, with the mere activation boasting enough power to sink an entire continent. This attack was however interrupted by Wilhelm before its could be completed.

Nihili Est Qui Nihil Amat

(Nothing Is That Which Nothing Loves) Methuselah binds his targets inside a sphere and then ejects multiple layers of night. It contains a density of 500,000 layers of night, which equals to 1,400 years. These layers are separated from each other, so they must be destroyed individually to escape. Not only that, but this prison compresses itself until it crushes anything inside it. Moreover, since circumferences of heaven and earth inside this is indecipherable, one may end up harming themselves. Methuselah can also opt to move the cage and send it elsewhere, essentially removing the target from the battlefield.

Nihil Difficile Amanti

(Nothing Is Difficult For a Lover) Methuselah summons a pentagram that rotates and speeds up time in the surrounding area, starting at a rate of thousands of years per second at its initial activation, where it is at such point that it essentially reduces everything, including souls, to dust. This was potent enough to where Methuselah was destroying the Legion (who would have perished for good were it not for Reinhard's Briah constantly reviving them) and various WW2 machinery to dust.
