At the end of each Kalpa, Alduin kills every deadra. Including Mehrunes. He kills every Aedra. He kills every mortal and every spirit. He restarts the universe.

In Skyrim, you fought Alduin in his weakest form, because he betrayed his prophecy by attempting a take over. He is not dead, however. Alduin will return in his Kalpa eating form and kill everything again, as he does countless times before.

Alduin is the strongest of all The Elder Scrolls entities. You're saying Alduin killed Akatosh? Yes, countless times. Alduin only leaves two beings alive, Padomay and Anu, as they are non-biological forces to re-create the universe each time. ok, that's kinda weird, and still a mere mortal kills him. The Last Dragonborn might be one of the most powerful mortals but still... No. You did not kill Alduin at all. You beat him in his non-Kalpa eating form (when he can kill everything and is impossible to kill), because this time, he decided he would like to take over, instead of destroy everything. Alduin will be back. He is not dead in any case. Then why was Paathrunax so sad when he "died"? Because he might have felt bad for betraying his old semi-partner, and brother in skin? Dragons are like a pack. They stick together, most of the time. By the time Alduin comes back, Paathurnaax will most likely be bones.
