They gave him the Numidium not out of generousity but out of necessity. they were gods, i dont think a dragon born could beat gods lol, gods that mind you at the height of their power made the daedric princes feel a bit scared of them. Vivec gave his people the ability to breathe underwater so he could destroy Morrowind and remake it, which imo is just as impressive as Tiber blasting away the Jungle in Cyrodil. also remember Vivec achieved CHIM as well from i think Molag Bal or Merhunes Daegon, that plus being a god i would imagine makes him one of if not the most powerful mortalish being that ever walked on Tamriel, much stronger then Tiber.

but yeah even if both of them didnt use their "CHIM" Vivec was a god he would easily beat a mortal dragonborn, not to mention there are 3 gods, so yeah no real competition there

Tiber Septim was still more powerful than most of the Tribunal. Even with their godlike powers. Only Vivec would be able to stand up to him. The Dragonborn has also been shown up to stand up to gods. Alduin may not be very impressive gameplay wise, but lore-wise, he literally eats the Daedra on a constant basis. He raises the dead. Every draugr runs on his power, and every dragon swares fielty to him. Also, the Daedra can't teach CHIM, nor can they understand it. And CHIM also buts you above every mortal, sans none. Being a god with CHIM does not make one better than a mortal avatar of a god with CHIM nor a mortal with CHIM.
