And to any of you wondering "how could Alduin be killed by any mere mortal if he is the god of destruction?" No he's not dead. After you defeated alduin, Paarthurnax told the Dragonborn that Alduin will return to fulfill it's destiny as the world eater, and probably no one can stop him at that time stating that there will no other Dragonborn "The last Dragonborn" Uh..wut? First, Akatosh is the Cyrodillic name for the Dragon-God of Time. Alduin is related to Akatosh just by that simple fact. They are not totally different beings anymore than Akatosh and Auriel are totally diffferent beings. While the rest of the Divines are compltely new creations, the Dragons suggest that Akatosh is a special case. Paarthurnax doesn't saying anything, he suggests what might be true because he knows just as much as you do about what happened to Alduin.

Finally, at the end of the day, Alduin is still a Dragon and is still a child of Akatosh. He is simply Akatosh personified. He's definitely related to him in every way and every from.
