@dami24434: No way Thor is killing the Dovahkiin.
Paarthunax himself stated that if the Dovahkiin didn't kill Alduin, all of Kalpa (timeline) will be destroyed:
Dovahkiin: "The next world will have to take care of itself."
Paarthurnax: "Paaz. A fair answer. Ro fus, maybe you only balance the forces that work to quicken the end of this world. Even we who ride the currents of Time cannot see past Time's end, Wuldsetiid los tahrodiis. Those who try to hasten the end, may delay it. Those who work to delay the end, may bring it closer."
And there's also an ES prophecy that stated that Alduin have the hunger to swallow the world:
"And the Scrolls have foretold, of black wings in the cold, that when brothers wage war come unfurled! Alduin, bane of Kings, ancient shadow unbound, With a hunger to swallow the world!"
And no, this is not hyperbole as stated by Michael Kirkbride himself:
"When you consider a place like Tamriel, sometimes it's best to take titles literally. Alduin is the World-Eater. It's not going to be "the end of all *life* as we know it," leaving a barren wasteland of Earthbone dirt... it's going to be the whole of Nirn inside his mighty gullet."
Alduin has already done this, as stated by the Song of Pelinal vol7:
"Presently] the half-Elf [showed himself] bathed in [Meridian light] ... and he listed his bloodline in the Ayleidoon and spoke of his father, a god of the [previous kalpa's] World-River... - The Song of Pelinal, Volume 7
"He fought Shor inside of the spirit plane, for reference, the spirit plane (Aetherius) exist an infinite distance away from Nirn:
"Shor's own ghost then fought the Time-Eater on the spirit plane, as he did at the beginning of time, and he won, and Orkey's folk, the Orcs, were ruined. As Boy Wulfharth watched the battle in the sky he learned a new thu'um, What Happens When You Shake the Dragon Just So. - Five Songs of King Wulfharth
You don't believe me that Aetherius distance is an infinite distance away from Nirn? Well, there is this:

This same lore Dovahkiin withstand and defeat this Alduin. You can scale it yourself
And for speed, we are going to have to go to what Vivec stated in ESO about the nature of the gods in TES.
Vivec stated that being timeless is the nature of the gods:
"to be a god:
"It is like being a juggler. Things are always moving, and you learn to know where they are without even thinking about it. Only there are many, many things moving. And sometimes, like any juggler, you drop something. I'm afraid it has become a lot more a matter of dropping things lately. There's too much to do, and not enough time, and I'm losing my touch. Perhaps I'm growing old."
"It is a bit like being at once awake and asleep. Awake, I am here with you, thinking and talking. Asleep, I am very, very busy. Perhaps for other gods, the completely immortal ones, it is only like that being asleep. Out of time. Me, I exist at once inside of time and outside of it"
"It's nice never being dead, too. When I die in the world of time, then I'm completely asleep. I'm very much aware that all I have to do is choose to wake. And I'm alive again. Many times I have very deliberately tried to wait patiently, a very long, long time before choosing to wake up. And no matter how long it feels like I wait, it always appears, when I wake up, that no time has passed at all. That is the god place. The place out of time, where everything is always happening, all at once."
This is supported by the fact that the place the Daedric Princes live in (Oblivion) doesn't have time in it:
Lord Fa-Nuit-Hen says, “Again I interrupt! The mighty Fa-Nuit-Hen, a servant of Hermaeus Mora? By no means! I am a scion of Boethiah, a sovereign demiprince, and I serve no will but my own! As for time, cause, and consequence, let's just say that the laws of the Dragon God do not apply to Oblivion. Oh, it's useful to adopt the trappings of duration when dealing with mortals, so you'll find Maelstrom quite familiar in that regard. We know how lost you feel away from the hand of Akatosh! Maelstrom is far easier to comprehend than Apocrypha—and much more generous in that we award victorious competitors with fabulous prizes!"
And how Alduin exist inside of the space between kalpas, where time doesn't exist:
"[And it came to pass that] a strange thing happened: Alduin the World-Eater, who sleeps between the [kalpas], had a disturbing dream, and he roused slightly, but not enough to bring ruin, and, heavy-lidded, he went back to the [age-wait]. But he yawned just slightly beforeso, which he had never done. And thus was born the Dirt Patch Which Does Not Gather Snow."
Heck, Vivec takes you outside of time in ESO:
business:
"Not very sensible. But very good. I was hoping for someone who would have no hesitations about making such an oath. You will now have a brief, momentary sensation of time passing. Don't be alarmed. You are being taken out of time in order to avoid the unpleasant experience of learning how to use Wraithguard. It will be over before..."
[There is a brief sensation of motion in total darkness, floating, but without a sense of weight or direction.]
Alduin is a literal Nordic God of Destruction and Creation. He is also a massive shard of Aka. So this description should also applies to him. So by scaling, Dovahkiin can easily keep up, and defeat Alduin. He should scale to Alduin dura, AP, and speed. So, it's a stomp, but in favor of the Dovahkiin.
