He has the power to do it, but if he try something else than devour the world (in this case, to rule over mortals), it's out of his role and not his speciality, he has no power over it. It's just his arrogance and his ego that made he think he can do anything.

When we talk about gods, aedra, dragons, daedra, etc it's obivious that their power can't be compared as their power is meningless if they stray out of their path (or their roles, destiny, or whatever you may call). And if Alduin and Dagon is fighting each other, I doubt there will be a winner as they aren't meant to fight each other just to claim their superiority towards each other.

When they're 'needed' to fulfill their destiny, they will succed because that is their role and their unique power. They're not mortals and mortal's concept of superiority didn't work for them. That's what I think. Thanks for replying.

However, Alduin hated to be the World Eater to be precise. He want to be the World Dominator to be exact, he lost all his kalpic destructor in Skyrim because he surrenders to become a weaker being that can be enough to enslave mortals and master over the dragons.

He has all rights to be arrogant, because his duty is to destroy worlds and kalpas. The problem with him is not his arrogance, but his negligence of his duty.

Yes, there are no most powerful beings in Elder Scrolls except Bethesda being as God. All beings are extensively balanced, and they are equal in power to each other. Even the mortals proved to be stronger than daedras or aedras, if they manage to achieve CHIM. All mortals are capable of CHIM, then Amaranth. Alduin can't even get CHIM, or cease to exist, or rule, or being worshipped like Aedra. He is really a slave
