The year is 2029. No matter what, the top 1 demon, the first ever top 1 to be the top 1 extreme demon for over a year, one that only 5 cubes have ever beaten, Tidal wave, was never destroyed. It's been 5 years, and it's still top 1. How did Zoink verify this? No one knows. But, at the end of the day, the guardian of the demons are very powerful. Tidal wave's guardian was well-respected. But, in May 2029, a new level was verified. After almost 6 years, Silent Circles was verified. It was instantly put at the top 1 spot, finally surpassing Tidal wave after 5 years.
Of course, the demon guardian of Tidal wave cannot stand this. But he has to accept. But, maybe that's not the end. A preview of a level was posted. It was by a not-so-famous player, Donkasem. He was working on a level so hard it could even surpass CYCLOLCYC. It was a level so hard it was deemed impossible to even bot. It's name? It was Silent Tidal, also known as Silent Tidal Wave.
It finished back in 2025, but no one had ever get even close to verifying it. The world record percentage was 13%. Every single click is frame perfect at 2200 FPS. How is that even possible???
As levels replaced the top-1, Silent Tidal was still under verification. But, alas, in 2045, Silent Tidal... was verified. By human. Riot returned after truly polishing his skill to find Silent Tidal being close to verification, at 25%. "Really? 25%?" He thought. Playing it, he learnt the peer difficulty of Silent Tidal. He came back in 2036, but now he's trying to beat it.
In 2042, over 15 years since it's finished, Riot got 98%. He failed a triple spike. That's how he got 98%.
Zoink came back and got 97% in 2043.
That's how the race to beat Silent Tidal truly started.
Zoink vs Riot, the two legend of the geometry dash history. Whoever beat it first, will be the true best player ever.
Eventually, in 2045, Riot finally verified Silent Tidal. Followed by Zoink exactly 12.652 seconds later. It was disappointingly close, to be honest.
"After 20 years of waiting, Silent Tidal, is now verified. Tidal wave, at the 20th place, was the base for Silent Tidal to be made."
"Wassup, Tidal! You should be proud that you finally got the reputation of Top 1 again! How is this possible?" Said Bloodbath.
"Ha ha ha! I just need to say, Thank you, to everyone for trusting me!" Answered Tidal wave's guardian, or now know instead as, Silent Tidal's guardian.
"I literally cried when I fell off the list. Good thing my big bro is here to support me." Said Bloodlust, "Why did you get buffed back into the list and I don't?"
"Who knows, maybe Silent Bloodlust is coming!" Said Silent Tidal.
"Yeah, yeah," said Bloodlust.
"Don't lose hope! Maybe it's actually coming soon. Maybe Bufflust is actually coming! Oh boi, Buffbath would be happy to see his cousin!" Exclaimed Bloodbath and Sonic wave.
