Humanity loses space flight, which would be moot if everything is over run. Psykers go mad worlds over, but maybe releasing an enormous nova of the Emperor's psychic might into the warp would cast away the darkness.
Alternatively, I've always entertained the notion that the Throne is failing from all the power it is attempting to contain and direct. That it is not just a focus but also a container. Whether it is holding a sleeping warp god or simply the amount of prayer / sacrificed psykers / etc. that feed the Emperor. Imagine that energy finally being released.
Maybe it contains that edgy new/old 4th chaos god, Malal!
