In a previous QNA thread, I asked some questions regarding Re:Zero feats that I think may have been overlooked up to now, and decided to finally get around to making a CRT about it.

Argument 1-The Dragon Sword
The Dragon Sword's scabbard is remarked as indestructible, and can effortlessly withstand attacks from Regulus Corneas using his Authority of Greed.
As I'm sure everyone here is aware of, the Authority of Greed allows Regulus to stop time for any object he wants. When he does this and uses it as an attack, the object is explicitly unstoppable. Attacks from him are unbound by physical laws such as gravity, air resistance, and conservation of momentum. By definition, his attacks move at light speed and carry infinite force.
The Dragon Sword's scabbard also resisted the direct gravitational force of, and destroyed, a singularity. Necessitating high-universal durability.
The Dragon Sword's scabbard, despite its apparent invulnerability, was once damaged by the claws of a dragon, believed to be Volcanica, implying high-universal AP, which Reinhard would scale to.
Counter Arguments;
Authority of Greed is just hax, not something we can scale, measure, or define properly-The entire reason why it is unstoppable is because it cannot be effected by its environment no matter what, that is explicitly what it is, not just "magic ability that destroys anything". It, by definition, carries infinite force because it cannot be effected, slowed, or stopped by any means within the physical universe. Either way, you can disregard this much if you want, but not Al Karum.
Al Karum is not a legitimate black hole feat-It is, I will return to this later in the second portion of this post.
We don't know if its durability changed over time-This is true, but there is no indication that its durability was lower when it was scratched, either way, I reiterate, I am also fine with a possibly or likely rating, and this would fall in line with that.
Argument 2-Al Karum
Besides the Dragon Sword's scaling, Reinhard himself was at the singularity and partially resisted its gravitational force. This is additionally an extremely nerfed Reinhard, far beneath his usual physical capacity, whose arm, while badly damaged, remained intact, and he still had enough strength to thrust the Dragon Sword into the singularity in the process of this. This would necessitate high-universal durability, and Reinhard obviously scales to his durability.
Al Karum is not a legitimate black hole feat-The relevant part of this descripted scene begins with "a magical black sphere that generated extreme gravity was born behind Reinhard. It was a rehash of a spell that had not worked back during the time of around eight-thousand loops-- no, in this extreme situation, "Aldeberan" had also broken past its limits and evolved the spell to the next level."
It is not referring to this attack as a simple enhanced gravity zone, it describes that as its original form, and then continues by explicitly stating the following; "What emerged there was not just a powerful force field that exerted an extremely heavy gravitational force. What appeared was a destructive singularity of mass, similar to a black hole, which warped space by concentrating an amount of Mana large enough to bring down a star into a single point."
It is not just gravity manip, it is a singularity, the narrator COULD NOT MAKE THIS MORE CLEAR. When it says Al Karum is only "similar to a black hole", this is evidently EITHER a misunderstanding of what a black hole is, or what Tappei means is that it isn't a naturally occurring black hole as it was produced via magic. A black hole is not an actual thing, it is a result of a singularity's existence, a region around the singularity. And the final sentence in that paragraph, "bring down a star into a single point", is the absolute confirmation.
Explaining black holes simply-A singularity, as its name suggests, is a singular point in space. The utmost density that any singular mass in the entire universe can attain after being compressed to its Schwarzschild Radius. Density and mass both correlate to gravity, but I won't get in depth about physics here, what is relevant is understanding why density is so important.
The closer you get to an object with a higher density, the stronger its more compact atoms' gravity is on your own atoms, this is why neutron stars or white dwarfs have such higher surface gravity than Earth despite being so much smaller. They still possess much greater mass than Earth, but their mass is compressed into a smaller radius, which causes the atoms to pull on you more strongly at close distance.
A singularity is a SINGLE point in space, it possesses 0 dimensionality. No surface, no width or depth, no radius. At that ridiculous level of density, density is defined as literally mathematically infinite. And as such, gravity at the singularity is also infinite.
The narrator saying that Al Karum can pull down a star into a singular point, is the express and direct definition of what makes something a singularity.
Counter Argument I Expect to See;
It is inconsistent-...Is it? What anti-feats does Reinhard exactly have? Is there a moment where Reinhard failed to destroy a physical object that I'm forgetting about? Is there a point where his durability was exceeded by something both finite and legitimately measurable?
Sure, I do agree that is is not inherently consistent in the context of "Feats that Reinhard has on a general basis". But it is not inconsistent in the form of "This is beyond what Reinhard is normally capable of.", there is a HUGE difference in context between those things.
Reinhard is consistently a monster among monsters, the pinnacle of power that all warriors in the world envy to attain, the only times he's even shown signs of frailty in any regard are when severely weakened or allowing himself to be damaged.
Reinhard himself can casually split apart space with his normal attacks, is it so hard to think that his AP and durability may just be stupidly high compared to DC feats we've observed in the series? Because I don't really think so.
Argument 3 (Extra Argument);
This is more for the Dragon Sword specifically with Reinhard wielding it.
At the end of Arc 3's second loop, the Sun sets into night time. Yet, in the Graveyard's 2nd Trial, it displays Reinhard's feat as apparently changing the time to day.
The context of "world" can only mean planet or "everything", meaning this feat most likely involved Reinhard destroying the RZ universe and recreating it from nothing.
Re:Zero AP Question
In an EX side story, Reinhard states that the dragon-claw etch marks on Reid's scabbard were, according to legend, made by Volcanica's claws. The sheathe of the Dragon Sword is virtually indestructible in-universe as Reinhard himself exclaims, capable of surviving the end of the world, capable...
