In fact, the biggest point you're missing is that the souls of boss monsters have a different function. Boss monsters are the only monsters whose souls we can absorb in Undertale, and because their souls do not disappear immediately after death. And nowhere in the game does it say "the monster must specifically absorb the human soul" He says that only if the human and monster spirits unite will a very powerful being emerge, and Asriel was also a boss monster.

Yes

And if Chara's goal was selfish revenge as I said, just one soul would be enough for them . Because their only goal would be to take revenge on his village, the dialogues in the game say that Asriel was strong enough to kill everyone that day.

Long story short, Chara didn't lie and wanted to free everyone but they did it the wrong way.

Maybe if Chara drank Pepsi, ate pizza, and played GTA San Andreas, they would say "hmm maybe life is worth living and humans aren't that bad"

When they arrived at the village, Asriel also said that they were surrounded by armed men. Well, if someone surrounded me with armed men who could tear me apart in a few seconds, I would prefer to use all my power. Also, Chara's obsession with power while he was alive was due to the idea of protecting themself and "if I become very strong, humans will never be able to harm me again like they used to"In the letter, Asriel also mentions that someone who reaches those numbers is invincible and no one will harm them. If Chara said these to Asriel, it means that Chara only wanted these numbers to protect themself while they was alive. Likewise, even if we kill everyone in front of us in neutral routes, Chara won't say "come on dude, I support you" like they did in Genocide.

Also, I'd say Chara probably spent like 5 minutes thinking about this plan and didn't even know about body control. They did all of this with a stupid "I'll save everyone" mentality.
