[Halo] Okay, let's assume the Flood has assimilated everything. What happens next?

Eternal torment. The Flood are bioengineered Precursors so tainted by their hatred and betrayal at the hands of the Forerunners that their thirst for vengeance permiates their group-mind. The Gravemind wants the universe to suffer, and many of those infected while still alive continue to live in agony as the infection controls their bodies. 

If they assimilate everything, it would simply lead to an eternity of pain and misery until the heat-death.
