If I was called by The Divines to hunt and kill Alduin. Why does he act like I'm nothing, if yet he knows that I was called by the Gods themselves to slay a powerful beast?

His he truely arrogant? Or is he scared of me? He is Arrogant. not until the actual battle is he a bit scared.

Though to be honest, he could have easily killed Alduin. I have to disagree with you on that. In order to kill Alduin, you need the Dragonrend shout. And clearly Miraak doesn't have that. So no, Miraak could not have killed Alduin. I defeated him the first time without using it, the second time I used it the first time, just so the heroes could stop standing there, and I beat him there too.

Magic attacks are really helpful against dragons, and Miraak is an extremely powerful magic wielder.

plus, he was asked by the heroes of old to help them defeat Alduin, if he chose to fight alduin they would have taught Dragonrend to him.
