Considering the lore states the last dragon born will come out and defeat(kill) Alduin i see no way he'd come back. Like why bother having the last dragon born if he doesn't permanent end him. Seems like a plot hole

A God doesn't die because they have powers of immortality but yet alduin does die as it's been written in the lore of the dragon scroll that a dragonborn will come about and kill the destroyer of worlds. It's fun to speculate he's not dead but this is reality and he's gone. It was destined by fate and Akatosh allowed this since it was him that created the dragonborn on the fourth era and the last one.

Hell even the in-game character suggests otherwise like the dialog between    M'aiq the Liar, he states, "Some say Alduin is Akatosh, some say M'aiq is a liar. Don't believe any of these things." Which suggest he's not the son of akatosh or a god as anyone can say that. Bethesda knows what they're doing when they add stuff like this.

All Alduin is is a very powerful dragon with powers mimic'ing a god, that's it.

1god
noun \ˈgäd also ˈgȯd\


 * a spirit or being that has great power, strength, knowledge, etc., and that can affect nature and the lives of people : one of various spirits or beings worshipped in some religions

Can you please explain to me how Alduin doesn't fit this definition?
