I think that Chara  was just like Flowey, they could SAVE and LOAD, and even though they wereb nice and in the beginning, eventually they became bored and cruel, so they figured a plan to cross/destroy the barrier to find more stuff to do. But to do it, they had to save over their own death (so that the timeline could go on and Asriel could pick up their SOUL). As the combination of a monster and human soul can't SAVE (Flowey in the neutral route uses it since he only has human souls and no monster soul, but in the pacifist route Asriel doesn't use it once), their death remained saved, until Frisk fell down mt. Ebott (or until we, the player, picked up the game).

Chara, once resurrected, still wants to carry out their plan and so they destroy the world because they know the player will want to come back, and when the barrier is destroyed, they can finally carry out their plan. (If you do the genocide route several times, they will eventually suggest you try a different route, and we all know about the soulless pacifist route). But how did they find the power to not only destroy the entire world, but also to bring it back? Who knows.
