Void Soul

"No telling if it's true, but according to the ancient scrolls, Void Termina may rise again in other forms depending on whether positive or negative energy is gathered. It seems this being of darkness will wander the galaxy until one day he is reborn into a new existence. When he returns, hopefully it will be as...a friend."

- VS Void Soul

Void Soul is a boss appearing in Kirby Star Allies. It is the final boss of The Ultimate Choice on the Soul Melter difficulty.

Physical Appearance
Void Soul appears just like Void Termina's core, except it's now white. Its Dark Matter form now has a blue eye instead of a red one.

Battle
Unlike its previous incarnation, Void Soul releases more shockwaves, and shoots out a constant stream energy pellets while moving around. It also does the signature cutter attack that most Soul bosses are known to do.

It can bring up a purple liquid that fills the room. It transforms into its Dark Matter form and fires lasers that electrocute the liquid and anyone in it. One of Void Soul's most powerful attacks involves it going into the background and splitting into four. All four Souls then jump to the foreground, creating shockwaves as they land. the four souls land in a a pattern going from the left to the right, oe vice versa. Afterwards, it splits into four again to do the stretching attack that its previous incarnation had; this time, its needles are produced much faster. If left alone for too long, Void Soul will use a faster version of the same stretching attack that Void Termina's core uses, but it summons the purple liquid during the attack, making it harder for Kirby and co. to dodge it.

Towards the end of the fight, Void Soul transforms into its Dark Matter form again. It swoops from small angles on one side of the screen while creating three orbs, each of which fire a damaging beam. 3 orbs are created along the top of the screen, then 3 more are created at surface level. to evade the beams, player(s) must move to the top of the screen almost immediately after the beams covering the top of the screen subside (it is also possible to evade the blasts by going directly behind them). Void Soul then moves into the background and creates more of these orbs there, each of which fires a damaging beam into the foreground and towards the camera. Guarding cannot block this attack.

After this attack, Void Soul summons three miniature versions of itself that transform into black holes. If Kirby and co. touches one of them, they will be sucked in and take damage.
