Would this make it possible to kill Daedra?

In any manner would it be possible to kill a Daedra? I've heard it said that lore-wise they cannot be killed, simply banished back to Oblivion.
In the games though, we spend some time in some of the planes of Oblivion. What if a souped up Dovahkin found his way to Coldharbour, and defeated Molag Bal while in his own plane of Oblivion?

To kill a daedra, you must first KNOW the daedra, and no one really does, as much as the Daedra are (compared to their aedra rivals) very active in mortal affairs, there is but ONE who has walked both planes. Who has lived as mortal and ascended to a plane of Oblivion, ONE of 17, who you have a hope in hell of convincing to tell you. The hero of Kvatch, Sheogorath. Daedric Prince of Madness.

And what greater madness is there than a quest to slay a God?

*Spoiler Alert, don't read if you don't want a itty bitty part of the Dragonborn DLC spoiled*

What brought this to mind specifically was how in the most recent DLC you get the option to come and go from Hermaeus Mora's realm of Apocrypha. He never presents himself in an attackable form, but it still crossed my mind that he wouldn't seem to have any safety net there like he would in Nirn.

Never really thought about it but isn't the Hero of Kvatch a bit like an Anti-Talos? Talos walked as man, as the great Tiber septim, he slaughtered the elves, united the empire and saved mankind. Then for his deeds he was allowed to ascend to Aetherius and live as Talos, the God king of man!

The hero of Kvatch saved the world from being engulfed in the flames of Meruhnes Dagon, from The badlands of the prince of destruction taking Nirn as their new home. A dark and grizzly fate indeed and thus for his deeds and his cessation of the cycle of Grey-March ( A great deed? or a great mistake? We shall see) he was allowed to ascend to Oblivion, the same realm he spent his entire life fighting against, and he became Sheogorath, Prince of Madness, God king of the insane! It's almost tragic, tbh.

just something to think about lol.

I remember feeling that it was ironic as well. It was all for a noble cause though.

I don't know, one of these games I just really really really want to stick it to one of those pompous immortals.
