If there was an "overgod of chaos" I think we would have met him before now & it's unlikely that Tzeentch & co would put up with any such entity, they would be conspiring against him constantly. As for Malal's power I think I explained fairly well why he is not considered to be as powerful as the other chaos gods- but the other gods & their minions ALL fear him.

As for a new chaos god emerging it's not at all far fetched, remember that Slaanesh has only been a god for the last 20,000 years or there about. So why should it be unlikely that a new chaos god could be about to emerge? Humanity is far more widely spread & far more numerous than the Eldar ever were & if a god can be formed by the excesses of the Eldar why can't one be formed by the fear or greed of the human race?
