What is the ability of GER? Well, one would normally say, the ability of Golden Experience but buffed, and also the ability of "Return to Zero"

However, I would like to point out, a stand's ability can only be activated when the Stand is conscious. And, as shown in the battle of Dio vs Jotaro, when the user is unconscious, the stand is unconscious as well. However, it is clearly shown in the anime that GER was conscious, and performed Return to Zero.

How is that possible? The only explanation is that GER has an ability that allows him to bypass Time Erase (KC), and possibly Love Train and Time Stop.

Tusk Act 4 has been observed with similar behavior, using its "Infinite Rotation" to break through the limits of time and space and bypassing Love Train and Time Stop (Diego Brando AU). However, that's only the nail, not Tusk Act 4 itself, and the nail only moves because, as it has infinite energy in a finite space, techniquely a black hole, hitherto a distortion in time and space. (Observable with the infinite rotation effect upon Funny Valentine)

From the case of Tusk Act 4 we can assume that GER, besides of its former abilities of Golden Experience, Return to Zero, also likely has the ability to distort time, and possibly also space. However, a stand can only have one ability (or 2 depending on if it is a requiem), or the "abilities" are variations used by the skill of the stand user to create, although they were just the same ol ability. (as seen in the case of Kira Yoshikage's first bomb, which he touches something, makes it a bomb, and when someone touches that thing, he makes the something explode)

Therefore, it can be concluded that GER has the original abilities of Golden Experience, and another ability, which he obtained from the Requiem Arrow. This ability has the power to bend time and space, and also nullify effects/revert time.

The Requiem Arrow gives the user what they wanted most at that specific moment. It can be argued that Giorno wants to become a Mafia Boss, or, to defeat Diavolo. However, to defeat Diavolo / his enemy, is more likely. Which means, it is possible that GER's power is the ability to defeat his enemy. And therefore allowing GER to obtain any power necessary for it to defeat the Giorno's enemy. And, as stated by GER itself, it is it's power to "Protect Giorno Giovanna".

This is just a theory.
