I hope so. But I don't know if Alduin can ever be completely destroyed.
"Perhaps, perhaps not. Dragons are not like normal mortal creatures, and Alduin is unique even among dragonkind. He may be permitted to return at the end of time to fulfill his destiny as the World-Eater. But that is for the gods to decide. You have done your part."
Arngeir makes the statement above if you question whether or not Alduin is truly dead.
It's my interpretation that the gods allowed Alduin to die here as punishment for not fulfilling his role as he was intended to do. However, he could be permitted to return to finish the job as the Kalpic cycle is something that's necessary to occur. Therefore, if he was doing his job as World-Eater, he would have Akatosh's support all the way.
