'''Void Soul''' | '''Void Soul''' is a secret [[boss]] who is faced only in [[The Ultimate Choice]], at the end of the 'Soul Melter' difficulty. He is a souped-up version of [[Void Termina]]'s Final Core, and used to be the true Final Boss of ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' prior to version 4.0.0, which added his stronger form, [[Void|Void]] to the game. Void Soul is titled as the '''Essence of Chaos''' in his splash text. Defeating Void Soul is required to complete The Ultimate Choice and attain [[100% completion]] of ''Kirby Star Allies''. | ||

While he shares the same body plan with [[Void Termina|Void Termina's Core]], Void Soul is cyan in color. He has dark blue lines coursing through his body, their pattern similar to a contour system. Blue dark spots move about his body, often forming faces, including one similar to [[Kirby]], another like [[0²]], and another that resembles [[Dark Matter]]. His dark matter form gives him a blue pupil, unlike Dark Matter proper. | While he shares the same body plan with [[Void Termina|Void Termina's Core]], Void Soul is cyan in color.

However, Void Soul's attack patterns are far more deadly and difficult to avoid, which compounds Kirby's reduced [[stamina|health]] in Soul Melter. He routinely uses attacks that can sweep or cover the entire stage, and can also cause the arena to flood with water. When he does so, Void Soul may also shock the water with huge electric lasers, dealing heavy damage to anyone submerged. | However, Void Soul's attack patterns are far more deadly and difficult to avoid, which compounds Kirby's reduced [[stamina|health]] in Soul Melter.
