"The power is an illusion only children can fall for. The power is not the primal reason to sart Genocide but a tool to open the way to complete the cycle in different manner. The tool that in the end becomes obsolete and dissapears like everything else except the ending itself. You really stop treating Players like fictional characters limited by boundaries of the game."

And what do you know, Frisk and Chara are both children!

Hatred of the monster race is another big reason why you might want to do it. Since they attacked first, just as the humans attacked Asriel, just before he died. And based on my take on Chara, well.. They hate monsters too now, post-death.

What "cycle" are you talking about? A "playthrough" of the game (from the start to one of the endings?)

The power didn't vanish, Chara took S/L/R away from us, and our power is useless in the void. And we're not nearly as powerful as Chara, so it's not like we can kill them. Sure, it might be useful in another world, but Chara isn't going to take Frisk over there. And a RESET (this is how Chara "recreates" the world) well, resets our power back to how it was when the game began-LV1, 20HP...
