As to why they didn’t use Chara's soul to destroy the barrier. Where would they put it? They had to keep the other six souls in containers to keep them from flying off. Do you think they just kept some on handy?

Do you think at the moment when Asgore just lost his son he was thinking about breaking the barrier with his other dead child's soul? I'm pretty sure Asgore's idea of breaking the barrier probably didn't come up until after it was too late to grab it.
