I'd say it's not asterias but another Astrophytum - ornatum or capricorn. In a few years you can make a positive ID.

I don't think that is Ornatum or Capricorne, None of the capricornes and ornatums spines are like that, I'm really confused about that.

Spines can be quite variable. It could also be a hybrid. In any case, it's too young to be able to tell what the spines will look like when it matures.
