Thus just ending time without destroying the universe kinda totally impossible. The Chaos Gods can never and will never go away. Period. End of Story. The Forerunners wouldn't just get to enter the 40k universe and get 3 million planets pretty much every useful planet is under the control of a particular race or the forces of chaos.

Khorne gains power from any form of killing, murder or war. Using the Halo array, if they somehow managed to build one without it getting destroyed, would make Khorne so ridiculously powerful that I shudder at the idea.

I am not debating the precursors they were basically gods which kinda breaks the sanctity of halo's lore. The showing of the forerunners also kinda ruined the series for me. However, almost indestructable things are Nurgles favorite. Also nothing is entirely resistant to decay not even platinum for christs sake.

On corruption, if Horus, the favored son of the Emprah, can be corrupted so can the Forerunners.

The Necrons can't destroy the warp they can contain and stabilize it at best. The Nids don't cockblock the warp, their collective psychic presence is used to block astropathic communications. That being said they still use warp travel occasionally but are capable of FTL travel.Cadia is the last place you want to destroy if Cadia's surface gets too damaged and too many necron pylons are lost then the eye will envelop the planet and destroy it or at the very least warp it beyond usefulness to non-warp enitities. The flood have knowledge of their universe not the 40k universe as such the warp would be foreign to them.

Corruption, again, isn't about needs it is about wants. Wanting more knowledge, wanting war or bloodshed, lust, immortality. The didact may have been corrupted by the Gravemind but that doesn't change the fact that he has an unhealthy love of war, making him basically a follower of Khorne already.

If you read the Nids lore you will realize that the flood are just Bungie's Nids, which in of themselves are just GWs Aliens. Hive Mind - Grave Mind, collective conscious, near omniscience, conquered many galaxies, reproduce from biomass, etc.

On top of this if, but more accurately when, the next Enslaver Plague comes all intelligent life, with the exception of the necrons who lost their souls, will be killed.

For Khorne the Halo would actually piss him off, not only would their deaths be instant and painless, but what could he do when all of the emotion that feeds him suddenly dissappear? theres a difference between killing with a sense of emotion/feeling, and complete galactic genocide without having said emotion remain since its so instant.

For Nurgle, no it has been repeatedly state that other than the Halo array, everything made from the Precursors are indestructable. So Nurgle is going to be massivley hurt when these babies show up.

For the Flood, they have extensive knowledge of over a 100 billion years, extensive knowledge of dimensions/universes other than Slipspace including The Glow and other such dimensions, so the Warp would be nothing more than a slight curiosity to the Flood. It dosen't matter if the Warp or Chaos is a foreign entity for the Flood/Precursors, because you are dealing against guys who are rated at low-mid end Outer God from the Cuthulu mythos.

For Corruption, why would Horus be a good thing to compare against the Forerunners? I already told you repeatedly that even IF Chaos manage to corrupt one Forerunner, within less than a second his own personal ancilla as well as pretty much everybody around him would start to notice the change. You are saying that the Forerunners could be corrupted by Chaos the same way as the IoM is just biased at best, because there is no proof of Forerunners being pshycic, and at the very best are like the Tau, barely noticable. Furthermore even if Chaos wanted to corrupt a Forerunner, the first thing they need to do is to by-pass the eyes of a Metarch-Class A.I or Contender-Class A.I. which would be absolutley impossible at best (If Chaos could 'corrupt' said A.I. than they could corrupt Culture Mind, which is Ludicrous at best).

Furthermore The Didact wasn't even interested in obsession with War, just because he is the head of the Forerunner military dosen't mean he is a blood seeking lunatic, this is just a bias statement, since even in his most darkest time he would still be doing things that is 'un-Khorne' like. The only time he has shown such blood-loving frenzy is when he was driven mad by the Primordial, and thus is only a puppet to the Precursors, so even if Khorne some how wants him corrupted, he must first meet the face of the Precursors face to face.

For Kaldor Draigo, it dosen't matter if its Wardien Heresy, if its part of the cannon lore (Which unfortunatley is) than it is part of the cannon lore, you cannot change the fact, if it was written and published that means it happened. Seriously Kaldor Draigo single-handidley justified why the Chaos Gods aren't Omnipotent nor Omnipresent, if a freakin mortal could do this much extensive damage to the Chaos gods, than what do you think happens when a Civilization near the Culture with weapons that could deplete their food resources in a instant would do them?

For the Flood again, if you actually read carefully about their lore, the Flood are absolutley nothing remotley similar to the Nids. Sure they both Omnomnom, but thats where their similarities end. The capabilities we see from the Flood in Silentium is just so above the Tyranids that they literally became Eldritch Abominations reincarnate with a no-limit falacy implied to them.

Lastly for the Enslaver plague, the Forerunners could just trap them in several different dimensions, caged them in a Slipspace bubble and then reverse-timelock them for several hundred trillion years without any food or substancence
