This. Also, Alduin, like all gods in Elder Scrolls, is actually a planet. All ES gods are planet busters, because they are easily capable of killing each other. They are also shapeshifters. Alduin in lore is about a bazillion times stronger than in the game. As of the time of Skyrim, he was the 2nd strongest god in our universe, only behind Jyggalag in power. And counting all the gods to have ever existed, he's still 7th in power behind Anu, Sithis, Nirn, Akatosh, Magnus and Jyggalag. Anu and Sithis were both universe busters. It was one of Anu's punches that created the universe, and all the lesser gods in it. Anu realized that if they continued their fight there, he would accidentally destroy his new children. So he pulled Sithis and himself outside of time, so they could do battle in an empty void for all eternity.
Alduin's purpose is to eat planets. In other words, to kill gods. Well, that's not entirely true. His real purpose was to forsake his duties and try to take over Nirn so that he could be killed by the Dovahkiin, thus fulfilling the final part of the Elder Scrolls prophecy, which was created by Anu for reasons that we can currently only speculate at.
