But he didn't, which makes my point correct, right? I like your way of thinking, but in this case, Alduin did not surpass Akatosh. He uses the term First-born of Akatosh, which in my opinion shows that he is proud, as well as being a tribute to Akatosh, his creator. I thin kthis means that he is weaker than him. And Akatosh happens to be the mightiest Aedra. He beat Dagon who is invicible! Alduin in the timeline before sent back in time, was powerful and could possibly devour the world, but he didn't. Which makes the nickname unreal.
