The untitled tenth chapter of Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Universe Mission!!, by Yoshitaka Nagayama, was first published in Japan in the November 2019 issue of Shueisha's Saikyō Jump.
Synopsis
Hearts arrives in Universe 7 to begin a final battle with Goku and Vegeta, while the remaining Core Area Warriors suffer losses in Universe 11.
Summary
Hearts arrives on Earth in a spherical glass pod created by Lagss.
In Universe 11, Zamasu sneaks away from the other Core Area warriors’ fight against Jiren and enters the crystalline structure housing the Universe Seed. Though dismissive of Jiren as a genuine threat, he does consider him troublesome enough to want to take some of the Universe Seed’s power for himself.
Seeing how much the seed’s power has grown, Zamasu proclaims his allegiance with Hearts over. Using the seed, he can now destroy all who oppose him.
Zamasu’s body is suddenly overtaken by liquid glass rising from the floor. Lagss emerges and re-encases the Universe Seed in a prism. Lagss says the seed belongs to Hearts, calling Zamasu a traitor. Zamasu states that he and Hearts have simply been using each other from the start.
Struggling against the glass, Zamasu vows to use the seed to end both Lagss and Hearts. Before can finish his threat, he is sliced in half by Trunks. With Zamasu bisected and encased in glass, Trunks proclaims that no matter how immortal he may be, this is the end for his foe.
Trunks notices that his sword has also begun to be encased in glass. Lagss calls him a nuisance. Jiren and Dyspo watch the crystalline structure vanish from outside as they restrain Kamin and Oren, predicting that the remaining enemy troops are headed to Universe 7.
In Universe 7, Hearts surveys his surroundings and notes that though he has landed far from any cities, with his mind-reading abilities, he can “hear” what he considers the struggling voices of unliberated people calling out. Goku, Vegeta, and the Shin of Universe 7 arrive to confront him.
The Kaiо̄shin demands to know what Hearts intends to do with the technology he took from Universe 3.
Hearts says his goal is to bring “freedom” to humanity, which has been oppressed by the gods. For that purpose, he needs to release the pent-up desires people suppress in their hearts. The technology of Universe 3 can make such a feat possible.
Vegeta cannot understand what Hearts is saying at all.
Mortals live according to the gods’ rules, Hearts continues, while subconsciously suppressing their true desires. Doesn’t the restriction appall them? There must be a way for people to live as they want. Hearts is going to bring humanity’s desires to the surface, and destroy the root cause of the problem: the Omni-King, the highest of gods.
Goku, Vegeta, and the Kaiо̄shin are shocked to hear that Hearts plans to target the Omni-King. Sensing their doubts, Hearts says that he is well aware of the Omni-King's ferocity. However, the energy needed to do so will soon be his.
The Kaiо̄shin takes off toward Bulma’s to begin preparing an evacuation should the worst come to pass. Goku asks Vegeta if they should fight together, but Vegeta prefers a competition to see who can defeat Hearts first.
The two turn Super Saiyan Blue and begin to attack Hearts in tandem. Even being able to read their minds, fighting the two at once proves troublesome. Hearts comments that perhaps he needs a more precise technique.
Hearts forms several energy cubes crackling with electricity, and fires them at Goku and Vegeta, trapping them inside his "Gravity Cages." The cubes contain several hundred times’ Earth’s gravity, and multiply any shocks taken from outside by just as much. Hearts begins slamming the cubes into the surrounding terrain, doing significant damage to the Saiyans.
Hit and Jiren arrive on the battlefield. Jiren vows to repay the Saiyans for their assistance in Universe 11. Hit, bandaged from his earlier injuries, promises the same. Besides, he has his own payback for Hearts, having lost their previous battle. The Fuwa of Universe 6 hides behind a rock formation, repeating to himself that all he did was bring the two to the battle.
Jiren shatters the cubes Goku and Vegeta are trapped in, freeing them. Hearts recognizes Jiren as the rumored strongest in the multiverse. Hearts notes that he should have had allies dealing with Universe 11. Jiren asks him if he means the small fry he took care of earlier.
Hearts determines that Jiren is even stronger than he had “heard,” and traps Jiren in a Gravity Cage. Although he may have been able to destroy them from the outside, it should prove more difficult from within.
Hit rushes at Hearts. Hearts notes that Hit’s earlier attempts to use the Time Skip failed, but Hit catches Hearts in the jaw with a punch, then again with a kick from behind.
Hearts wonders how Hit is able to catch him off-guard despite his ability to read minds. Hit reveals that he is thinking of one attack and switching to another within the .2 seconds afforded by his Time Skip. Hearts marvels at Hit’s ingenuity, as Jiren breaks out of his cube. Hearts is shocked that Jiren managed to break out simply via his own power.
Hit and Jiren close in on Hearts, as a voice tells Hearts not to move. Glass shards shoot up from the ground and form a spiked dome sealing him off from the battle. Inside, Hearts thanks Lagss for saving him. Lagss is thrilled to have been praised by her master.
Lagss reports the fate of the other Core Area warriors—Kamin and Oren, apprehended in Universe 11, Cumber, whisked away from the battle to whereabouts unknown, and Zamasu, terminated by Lagss when he proved traitorous exactly as Hearts had predicted. Hearts laments the unfortunate turn of events, but Lagss comments that she managed to save the most important piece. She produces the Universe Seed, which Hearts notices is now complete.
Outside the dome, Jiren tells the others to get ready to break through the glass and put an end to things all at once.
Hearts emerges from the dome in an explosion of energy, newly strengthened by the Universe Seed.
“Now there’s an idea,” he says. “Let’s finish this all at once.”

Notes
Flavor text on the chapter's opening page in its original Saikyō Jump publication rather oddly refers to Hearts' pod as being a "pod of ice made by Lagss" (ラグスが作った氷のポッド), despite all other references to the material she constructs, both within the Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Universe Mission!! Manga and other Super Dragon Ball Heroes fiction and ancillary guides, referring to it as glass.
As a standard magazine backup feature, author Yoshitaka Nagayama offered a brief answer to a question in the back of the Saikyō Jump issue in which the chapter was originally published:
ハロウィンで仮装してみたい格好は？ What do you want to be for Halloween?
狼男や、ドラキュラもカッコいい‼ 長いキバをつけて、お菓子食べたい。 A werewolf or Dracula would be cool! I want to slap on some long fangs and eat candy.
