3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: Galatians
Christ became accursed. The cross was - still is - a pagan symbol at the time which is still in use by demonic cults. It signifies defiance against God. Romans knew exactly what they were doing. And its effect was desolation ... His righteousness was obfuscated. God was separated from Christ at that point...
27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Matthew
That act ushered Christ into the realm of the Kingdom of darkness, and bound Him in death. BTW, death is a curse too. One that binds all men at birth, one that held Christ too. But only for a moment. He had to become accursed to access the realm of the accursed, because when he broke free of the curse, he left the door open for the men bound by the same curse.
Op, he had to submit to that curse, because it bound the men he came to save. It gave him access to them
4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.4:9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth ?4:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) Ephesians
What eph 4:6 refers to were the conquests of Christ as a result of that curse. He not only attained power over the curse by overcoming it, but that power is also demonstrated in form of Spiritual gifts(powers) that became available to men from that point. The rest of the chapter is about the gifts.
So yes, that cross was intentioned as the highest form of defiance towards Christ's Godliness, and it worked to His advantage,
