Will the lightning network destroy and absorb all altcoins?

LN itself is not in competition with blockchains. You could in principle settle LN channels on any blockchain, or simply on trust, or on government-enforced contracts if you feel like licking boots. There's LN for Litecoin and also there's Raiden for Ethereum.
