I will reply to this post in multiple posts to each of your points.
And what stops the precursors from manipulating those personal dimensions?
The Precursors are older than the universe itself (100 billion years at least) so time traveling to before time existed would be an issue. Also the flood is not mindless, it is commanded by the Primordial and 1000 other Precursors.

Edited by Garen Sol: 2/20/2016 4:51:04 AMThe precursors are essentials powerless in those dimensions unless the ascendant wants them to have power. I was not aware of precursors being older than universe. Where was this stated? Oryx can still take the flood. Just because the flood have "ranks" doesn't negate Oryx's power over them.

Here is the quote The Gravemind tells us something impossible to understand— that most of what has been gathered comes from before there were stars.

Edited by Edcub One: 2/20/2016 5:02:00 AMHow can they counter transcendent entities who are beyond time and space? I will find the quote. The flood infect reality itself when they reach key mind stage, this is beyond anything Oryx has shown to cope with.
